Jets Defense Shuts Down Steelers in Preseason Rout

The New York Jets' defense has been impressive in their first two preseason games. Against Pittsburgh on Friday night, they pitched a shutout, holding the Steelers to no points and intercepting quarterback Will Howard twice. Safety Andre Cisco picked off one of those passes, returning it 23 yards to the Jets' 31-yard line.

The defense's performance was praised by veteran linebacker Demario Davis, who said that these games 'don't count, but they matter.' He emphasized the importance of approaching each game as if it were a regular season matchup. The Jets' defense has been working on their takeaways, and they got two crucial interceptions in this game.

Rookie edge rusher David Bailey made his presence felt with a sack on Howard for an 11-yard loss, forcing a punt. Davis was impressed by Bailey's performance, saying that he 'looks like the number two overall pick.' The Jets' defense is showing promise heading into the regular season.
