Why the Jets can cover
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers can still throw the football around the field with ease. Rodgers has a lightning-quick release and the arm strength to make every throw. He is 10th in the NFL in passing yards (1,387) and tied for eighth in passing touchdowns (nine).
Receiver Garrett Wilson is an elite weapon in the passing game. Wilson is a threat in open space and has strong body control. The Ohio State product is second in the NFL in receptions (41), 12th in receiving yards (399), and has three touchdowns. He has gone over 100 yards in consecutive games. The Jets also now have Davante Adams in the fold. He's one of the best route-runners in the league and has a storied relationship with Rodgers. Over eight seasons with Rodgers, Adams has reeled in 615 receptions for 7,529 yards and 68 touchdowns. See who to back at SportsLine.
Why the Steelers can cover
The Steelers have a disruptive and alert defense. They are eighth in the NFL in total defense (294.2) and fourth in run defense (85.5). Linebacker T.J. Watt continues to be a top defender in the NFL. Watt is relentless in his pursuit of the ball while generating pressure with ease. The Wisconsin product has 25 total tackles and eight TFLs. He also has 4.5 sacks and is tied for second in the league with three forced fumbles.
On the offensive end, the Steelers love to get the ground game going. Running back Najee Harris is a bruising tailback due to his strength and power.
