The New York Jets didn’t get the result they wanted in Week 1, falling 34-32 to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the performance left fans more encouraged than deflated.
Between a resurgent rushing attack, promising flashes from Justin Fields in his debut, and a defense built to create problems for Josh Allen, the Jets' path to an upset in Buffalo is much clearer than it might seem at first glance.
New York’s offense showed in Week 1 that it can control the flow of a game through its rushing attack. Breece Hall exploded for 126 yards from scrimmage, showcasing the same home-run ability that makes him one of the league’s most dangerous backs.
