The Pittsburgh Steelers needed a boost after a second straight loss to the conference rival Denver Broncos. They got one, silencing their critics with a 27-10 smackdown of the upstart New York Jets.
Now Pittsburgh will look to replicate their success against New York in their Week 3 matchup against the Oakland Raiders.
Pittsburgh's D was its typical dominant self against the Jets, playing like an elite unit even without All-Pros LB James Harrison and S Troy Polamalu.
QB Ben Roethlisberger sliced up the vaunted Jets defense en-route to a three touchdown, 27-point performance by the Steel Curtain's offense.
In short, the Steelers looked dominant against the Jets, a team that blew out the new-look Buffalo Bills just one week prior.
Next week's matchup against the Raiders is one they should win. Oakland is clearly a team on the downswing (they lost seven starters from last season), and Pittsburgh's D should be able to overwhelm the middling Raiders offense.
Let's take a look at what Pittsburgh fans can expect from their team following their Week 2 blowout of the Jets.
