Pittsburgh Steelers vs New York Jets: NFL 2010 Live Streaming on CBS - It wasn’t long ago that the New York Jets were being bandied about as one of the elite teams in the National Football League. But following an utter beatdown by the New England Patriots and an uninspired offensive performance in a loss to the Miami Dolphins, some people are now questioning whether or not the boastful Jets are even a playoff team.
Live from the Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the New York Jets vs Pittsburgh Steelers will start at exactly 4:15 pm ET, Sunday, December 19, 2010.
Apparently, the Steelers (10-3) maintained the top spot in the division despite not scoring an offensive touchdown, as their defense held the bottom-dwelling Bengals to 190 total yards en route to a fifth win in six chances.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, playing with a bandage around the nose he broke in Week 13’s critical win over Baltimore, connected on 21-of-33 throws for 258 yards, 115 of which went to Hines Ward on eight hookups.
Pittsburgh (10-3) has allowed 9.0 points per game during its winning streak, scoring two defensive touchdowns in last Sunday’s 23-7 win against Cincinnati. That has helped make up for an offense that has totaled one TD in its last 11 quarters since scoring in the first during a 19-16 overtime win Nov. 28 at Buffalo.
On the other hand, New York hasn’t scored an offensive touchdown since the third quarter of their Thanksgiving Day win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The Jets looked as if they had an easy one in the loss to Miami, but usually-reliable wide receiver Santonio Holmes had a perfect pass from Sanchez go through his arms.
Holmes will be looking for some revenge this week, as he faces the team that he won a Super Bowl MVP with two seasons ago. After a series of off-field problems, he was dealt to the Jets this past offseason for a fifth round pick.
The Jets (9-4) were held out of the end zone for the second straight game during Sunday’s 10-6 home loss to Miami, dropping their second straight for the first time this season.
Coach Rex Ryan said during the third quarter he considered benching Mark Sanchez, who has four interceptions and no touchdowns in his last two games. He threw his 12th interception of the season and finished 17 of 44 for 216 yards against the Dolphins.
