New York Jets vs Pittsburgh Steelers: Five Players to Watch

– Antonio Brown

The Jets are going to have their hands full trying to contain the talented Steelers’ offense. While the Steelers have multiple wide receivers that can hurt the Jets, the main target is Antonio Brown. In the past few years, Brown has become possibly the best wide receiver in the NFL, and that will be a problem for the Jets.

In Week 1, we saw what A.J. Green who is also an elite wide receiver could do against the Jets. Green’s damage also came against Darrelle Revis, who might not play on Sunday. Especially if Revis sits, Brown is going to have a field day against the Jets’ secondary.

This season, Brown has totaled 28 receptions, 369 receiving yards, and four receiving touchdowns. Ben Roethlisberger isn’t shy targeting Brown, as he has thrown the ball in his direction slightly over 10 times a game. In the blowout win against the Chiefs, Brown didn’t have to do much, as he only caught four passes. However, two of those catches were touchdowns.

The matchup against Brown looks like a disaster waiting to happen for the Jets’ defense in Week 5. Unless something drastically changes for the Jets’ passing defense this week, expect to see a big game from Brown on Sunday.
