Will Howard, a sixth-round pick who performed well in his NFL debut a week ago, struggled with two interceptions during the Steelers' 17-0 loss to the Jets. The rookie completed 10 of 15 passes for 74 yards in four drives, with both of his non-turnover drives resulting in three-and-outs.
Howard took responsibility for the mistakes, saying "Both of them were unfortunate. Just can't happen." However, coach Mike McCarthy suggested receiver Roman Wilson may have been partially at fault, noting "There's always plays that are cleaner than others and those two plays were not clean." The performance comes as the Steelers have a crowded quarterback room, with rookie third-rounder Drew Allar handling the second half. umafrika.club
