The New York Jets achieved a 17-0 shutout against the Pittsburgh Steelers in their second preseason game. While the final score marked a significant defensive achievement, the team's performance was further bolstered by two critical interceptions.
These turnovers came on back-to-back possessions against Steelers quarterback Will Howard, with Andre Cisco and Sam Womack each recording a takeaway. This marks a notable improvement for the Jets, who went the entirety of the 2025 regular season without registering an interception. The team is evaluating whether these recent defensive plays signal a potential shift in the habits that hindered them during the previous season.
