Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh Steelers have enjoyed a fine start to their 2020 NFL campaign. They find themselves on a 3-0 record at the end of Week Three and are very much in contention to make the 2020 NFL Playoffs. But the same cannot be said for the Sam Darnold-led New York Jets.
The Jets are yet to win a single game this season, with Darnold as their starting quarterback. The former USC man had a tough outing in Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Darnold threw two pick-six’s during the game as the Jets suffered a 36-7 loss. They are now slated to go up against the struggling Denver Broncos on Thursday night.

Pittsburgh Steelers star, Juju Smith-Schuster, played alongside Darnold at USC back during his college football days. Here’s what Smith-Schuster said about Darnold, who’s had a tough outing in 2020 thus far.
“That my guy, man. Sam Darnold, if we could get him to Pittsburgh, I would, but I love Ben [Roethlisberger] so it is what it is. I’m just saying he’s a great kid. I played with him so he’s one of my boys so I wouldn’t mind playing with him again.
