2000 Steelers 20 at Jets 3 Jason Gildon makes a huge impact early, sacking Vinny Testaverde on the first play, forcing him out with a neck injury. Gildon later blocks a FG attempt, shutting down New York's best first-half scoring opportunity. Backup QB Ray Lucas struggles, throwing two INTs and managing only 99 passing yds. Meanwhile, Kordell Stewart excels, completing 17 of 26 passes for 140 yds and a TD while adding 33 rushing yds. His 10-yd TD pass to Bobby Shaw in the fourth quarter is Pittsburgh's first passing TD of the season. Jerome Bettis dominates with 107 yds on 25 carries, including a 12-yd TD run, while the defense stifles Jets star Curtis Martin, holding him to 59 yds and forcing a rare fumble. |
