Steelers Sizzle Past Jets
Jason Bridge-USA TODAY Sports
For one final time, the Pittsburgh Steelers would be wearing the bumble bee jerseys. Would they sting the New York Jets? The Steelers defeated the Jets 31 to 13.
Ben Rothelisberger stung the Jets defense with 380 passing yards and 4 touchdown. He connected with Sammie Coates on a 72-yard touchdown pass in the first-quarter.
With the Jets trailing 7 to 6 in the second-quarter, Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Marshall. Fitzpatrick threw for 255 yards and 1 touchdown. Marshall had 8 catches for 114 yards receiving and 1 touchdown.
Right before halftime, Jesse James caught a 1-yard touchdown pass from Rothelisberger.
With the Steelers leading 17 to 13 in the fourth quarter, Rothelisberger threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Brown. Brown finished with 9 catches for 78 yards receiving and 1 touchdown. Late in the game, Rothelisberger threw his final touchdown pass to Sammie Coates from 5 yards out.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will travel to the Miami Dolphins (1-4) next Sunday.
