Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams reunion fails to spark Jets - ESPN

PITTSBURGH — Two scenes in the New York Jets' postgame locker room told the story of their 37-15 loss Sunday night to the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium.

Wilson blamed himself for the Jets' fourth straight loss, saying his third-quarter drop — intercepted by nickel back Beanie Bishop Jr. — was the turning point.

It was that type of night for the Jets (2-5): Emotional, frustrating and bitterly disappointing. They're 0-2 under interim coach Jeff Ulbrich, who replaced the fired Robert Saleh on Oct. 8.

Adams' highly anticipated Jets debut, and his reunion with Rodgers, produced a couple of early flickers but no fireworks. It was a rough night for Rodgers (two interceptions) and his two star receivers, as Adams and Wilson combined for only eight receptions and 91 yards on 18 targets.

«I have to play better,» said Rodgers, who has five interceptions in the past three games. «That's the key, I have to play better. We have to find a way to run the ball better so we can play-action pass.»

The Jets played well for the first 20 minutes, jumping to a 15-6 lead on Rodgers' 1-yard scoring pass to tight end Tyler Conklin. After that, the offense disappeared. Just before halftime, Rodgers threw into traffic over the middle to Wilson and it was picked off
