The New York Jets will play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in Week 5 of the NFL 2016 regular season. Today's game will take place from Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and has a scheduled start time of 1 p.m. ET. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network or online through live stream via the link below.
The Jets suffered another loss last week to drop them to 1-3 and leave their season on the brink.
The Jets hosted the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4 and were simply unable to cope once the Seahawks increased the intensity, losing the game 27-17.
Meanwhile, the Steelers claimed a massive 43-14 win over the Kansas City Chiefs last week to move to 3-1.
Pittsburgh were quick out of the blocks in that game, scoring 22 unanswered points in the opening quarter to put the result beyond any doubt early on. By the time the game got to the final quarter the Steelers were already 36-0 ahead.
The Steelers will be hoping to maintain the form of last week to gain a fourth win today.
Earlier this week on NFL Thursday Night Football the Arizona Cardinals gained a valuable road win over the San Francisco 49ers.
Both teams entered the clash on 1-3, and both knew that they were facing almost must-win situations to salvage their seasons.
Following a tense first half the teams were level on 7-7, but the second half saw the Cardinals turn the screw and they pulled away to win the encounter 33-21.
The result moved the Cardinals onto a much more respectable 2-3 although they still have a lot more work to do over the coming few weeks to get themselves back into postseason contention. The 49ers meanwhile suffered their fourth defeat of the season in just five weeks and that leaves their season more or less in tatters. It's hard to see how they can turn their season around from here, and already it may be more about re-building for next season than having any realistic chance of making a run for the Playoffs this year.
Arizona managed to claim 17 points from three turnovers by the 49ers in the game, including two interceptions by Blaine Gabbert as well as a a fumble kickoff return by Chris Davis.
49ers coach Chip Kelly said after the game: "I don't think anybody played well on offense. Nobody. I don't think we protected well enough, I don't think we threw it well enough and we had too many drops and two interceptions."
Meanwhile, defensive lineman Calais Campbell said, "We've been saying all week it just starts with one. Just get one win and try to stack them. We've been a team in the past that can rip off a bunch of them. ... Now we have to figure out what we can do to keep that ball rolling."
