HERO
Mark Sanchez. Though his stats weren’t eye-opening, his protection of the ball and sharper accuracy after three poor weeks allowed the Jets to win the game.
UNSUNG HERO
Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, who had been the brunt of fan and media criticism of late, called a brilliant game, changing up a lot of offensive tendencies to keep the Steelers’ defense off balance.
ZERO
The Steelers’ offensive line for allowing running back Mewelde Moore to get tackled in the end zone for a safety in the fourth quarter. Those two points allowed the Jets to force the Steelers to score a touchdown to win the game at the end instead of tying it with a field goal.
KEY MOMENT
Jets cornerback Marquice Cole breaking up the Steelers’ last pass play of the game in the end zone to preserve the victory.
