NY Jets stun Steelers 19-16 in OT

In front of a crowd that sometimes looked as if it was a home game for the Steelers, the Jets hung tough to win their second game of the season.

The Jets defense had its best game — by far — by sacking Ben Roethlisberger seven times and holding Willie Parker to 52 yards on 21 carries.

New York came in ranked 30th overall on defense, and last against the run, but held Pittsburgh to just 112 yds rushing and 152 yds passing and only one touchdown.

The Jets went out to 10-0 early and were still ahead 13-7 by the half.

Pittsburgh slowly ground out a 16-13 lead via three Jeff Reed FGs and held that lead until the last 25 seconds of regualtion when Mike Nugent hit a 28 yd kick to force over time. 

OVERTIME 

After the Jets went three-and-out to open overtime, the Steelers did the same. Leon Washington took the punt 33 yards to the Pittsburgh 26 to put New York in scoring position immediately.

Jones ran three times for 6 yards and then Nugent booted his fourth field goal of the game and the New York Jets stormed the field and celebrated their first win in nearly two months.
