However, this forward-and-back-offensive game got upside down as Fields and Jets were facing fourth and cards with 25 seconds left and needed a field goal to win the game on walk-off mode.

Fields and the Jets would answer as Wilson jumped free and was open 33 yards from the line with scrimmage to his first touchdown of the season. These two have a noticed report as they played together at College in Ohio State, and Jets fans hoped the connection would be seen in the NFL now.
But Rodgers certainly has a connection with DK Metcalf, the star recipient Steelers traded for this season from Seattle Seahawks. He led Steelers with 83 receiving yards of only four catches, including a 31-yard catch and running.
However, Metcalf was not one of these four touchdown passes when Rodgers found Calvin Austin III, Jaylen Warren and the new tight end Jonnu Smith in the final zone during the victory.
