Ahead of the Sunday Night Football matchup between the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium, there was one key matchup within the game that could have been considered marquee and could have led to fireworks for either team.
Yet, the Jets — for some reason — shied away from the matchup, and in the end were burned.
That would be the matchup of Steelers WR George Pickens against Jets CB Sauce Gardner.
Gardner already has two All-Pro seasons under his belt and is considered one of the best corners in all of football, while Pickens has all the talent in the world, but has had a rocky season overall.
