Jets Spoil Steelers’ Playoff View With a Win

Smith-Schuster, who returned after missing four games with a knee injury, had two catches for 22 yards.

The former Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward, now an offensive assistant on Adam Gase’s staff with the Jets, said he hoped to celebrate a win with a Gatorade shower — and he got one moments after New York’s final defensive stop sealed the win.

Hodges was 11 of 17 for 84 yards and the two interceptions, while Rudolph was 14 of 20 for 129 yards and a touchdown to Diontae Johnson that helped the Steelers erase a 10-0 deficit to tie the score at halftime.

Conner, who left in the second quarter with a thigh injury, had 32 yards on six carries before leaving. Pouncey hurt his left knee at the end of the third quarter.

Darnold was 16 of 26 for 183 yards and the touchdown to Anderson. Bell also had four catches for 21 yards.

The Jets, who blew a 10-0 second-quarter advantage, retook the lead on Sam Ficken’s 37-yard field goal with over six minutes left in the third quarter. The drive was helped by the rookie tight end Trevon Wesco’s 32-yard catch-and-run that put the Jets at the Steelers’ 19-yard line.

Ficken’s 42-yard field goal with 3:11 left put the Jets ahead, 16-10.
