(CBSNY) —The Pittsburgh Steelers should not overlook the New York Jets. (The Steelers are three-point favorites.) Sam Darnold is only completing 61.7% of his passes for 240.2 yards per game, which doesn’t put him among the NFL’s better passers. But he is moving the Jets offense. Running back Le’Veon Bell will be facing his old team and will certainly be motivated. And the Jets run defense is one of the league’s best, allowing just 3.3 yards per carry and 88.8 yards per game.
The Steelers, at 8-6, hold the last wild-card spot over the Tennessee Titans, also 8-6.
