New York Jets vs Pittsburgh Steelers — Jets win 17-0, Aug 21, 2026

The Jets blanked the Steelers 17-0 at Acrisure Stadium, and Quincy Skinner Jr. was the difference-maker with 4 catches for 47 yards and a touchdown. Cade Klubnik was efficient under center, going 10/14 for 75 yards, while Pittsburgh's Drew Allar struggled to a 11/23, 110-yard night with no scores. Two costly turnovers sank the Steelers, who now sit 1-1 alongside New York.

The Jets controlled the game through the air, with Klubnik finding Quincy Skinner Jr. for a touchdown as part of his 4-catch, 47-yard night. That connection proved decisive as Pittsburgh's defense couldn't find an answer, and New York never let the Steelers into the end zone.

Chip Trayanum chipped in on the ground for New York with 20 yards on 6 carries, while Pittsburgh's Kaleb Johnson led all rushers with 39 yards on 10 attempts. Lake McRee gave the Steelers a spark through the air with 2 catches for 46 yards, but it wasn't nearly enough to offset the shutout.

Turnovers told the story on the day, as Pittsburgh coughed the ball up twice while New York protected it, and that discipline gap proved fatal against the closing spread of PIT -2.5. Both clubs now sit at 1-1, with the Steelers left to search for answers after a game that got away from them at home.
