The many Jets fans who decided to sell their tickets to Steelers fans on Sunday got the best of both worlds:

They got to avoid being hopelessly outnumbered as Steelers fans – about 75 percent of the crowd — turned MetLife Stadium into a yellow-and-black, towel-waving Heinz Field east.

And, along with some extra cash in their pockets, those Jets fans got to enjoy watching the actual home team pitch a shutout in the second half and beat the Steelers, 16-10.
