Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers look to grab a win in their home-opener against the New York Jets on Sunday.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will look to bounce back from a disappointing 31-16 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 1, as they take on the New York Jets in their home-opener on Sunday.
Pittsburgh couldn't get much offense going against the Broncos, as they rushed for just 75 yards, and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger only completed 22-of-40 passes in the loss. Despite their struggles in Week 1, the Steelers are six-point favorites, according to OddsShark. The over/under is currently set at 41.5.
New York is coming off a 48-28 pounding of the Buffalo Bills last Sunday. Mark Sanchez led the way for the Jets, completing 19-of-27 passes for 266 yards and three touchdowns, and the Jets' powerful, stifling pass defense picked off Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick three times in the win.
Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET at Heinz Field, and the game will be televised on CBS.
