The New York Jets are trying to salvage what they can from this season, but the team is looking at a tall order in beating the Pittsburgh Steelers this week.
When the Pittsburgh Steelers start rolling, they get rolling in an rather impressive way. That has been the case so far the past two weeks with Ben Roethlisberger throwing 12 touchdowns in eight quarters of football. That’s what the New York Jets are up against on Sunday afternoon and it’s looking like another loss is in store for Rex Ryan’s doomed squad.

New York is down and out, with reports about who could be the next head coach already piling up. But there’s still a chance for an upset as people are playing for their jobs, and the Steelers are down some pretty big defensive names — including safety Troy Polamalu.
