Football is back and so is our weekly Stats of the Weird. For a Week 1 game, we have plenty to keep you busy from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ exciting 34-32 win over the New York Jets. Dig in and enjoy.
– Where to even begin with this crazy game. The 68 combined points between the Steelers and Jets is the most in a Steelers Week 1 game since 1981 when Pittsburgh fell to the Kansas City Chiefs, 37-33.
The 68 points are tied for the second-most combined in a Steelers opener, matching the 34-34 tie against the New York Giants to begin the 1966 season.
