Steelers fans toasting a 34-32 win over the Jets while quietly wondering if the defense can be sued for malpractice.

What happened

B.Skowro's fumble recovery on the opening kickoff of the fourth flipped the game, and C.Boswell's 60-yard field goal with 1:08 left iced a two-point win that probably shouldn't have been this close. A.Rodgers connecting with C.Austin for the go-ahead score gave fans something to believe in, but J.Fields shredding the defense all afternoon — and that o-line letting Rodgers get hit repeatedly — suggests the cardiologist jokes aren't really jokes.
