In Pittsburgh, tensions rose late when New York Jets owner Woody Johnson showed his frustration after the Jets lost to the Steelers, marking their fourth consecutive defeat. The team has struggled since their Week 3 victory, leading to the firing of coach Robert Saleh. Seeking to turn things around, Johnson approved trades and contract extensions, but improvements remain elusive.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, tasked with uplifting the team, faced a tough night. The Jets initially led 15-6 but suffered after a crucial interception by Steelers' Beanie Bishop, which swung the momentum. A disappointing 37-15 loss ensued, leaving the Jets at 2-5 for the season.

The game highlighted persistent issues, including poor execution in key moments and a faltering defense riddled with injuries. Despite adding talent like Davante Adams, dropped passes and turnovers haunted their game. As frustration mounts, Rodgers emphasized accountability and the need for a win in their upcoming match against the Patriots.

Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich is under pressure to rejuvenate the squad and address recurring problems. The team confronts a challenging path ahead as they attempt to reverse their fortunes and rekindle hope in a season teetering on the edge.
