Takeaways from the Jets' preseason win over the Steelers

Geno Smith’s sharp start and a few early-season concerns stood out as the Jets beat the Steelers 17-0 in a Friday night preseason game in Pittsburgh. Smith went 7-for-7 on the opening drive, finishing with a touchdown and converting two third downs, giving coach Aaron Glenn a key early look at his quarterback. The Jets’ running game, however, struggled without Breece Hall. Braelon Allen managed three rushes for 4 yards in one series, while the longest ground action of the night came from QB Cade Klubnik’s 16-yard scramble. Rookie WR Omar Cooper Jr. got the start, but caught only one pass for 9 yards.
