The New York Jets continued their 2024 NFL season with a 37-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7.

Every trip was an overall team effort. Individual players stand out, for better or worse. That was the case on Sunday in Pittsburgh.

Here's Jets Wire's stock report following the Jets' (5-2) loss to the Steelers (5-2):

Stock down: WR Garrett Wilson

A statistic of five catches for 61 yards isn't usually bad. However, the dip Wilson had that resulted in an interception was such a blast that his stock plummeted. He said it himself.

Stock up: Will McDonald IV

The Jets defense had a “bend but don’t break” mentality for most of the contest. She never took up the offensive. Part of the success on defense was due to McDonald. He recorded a sack and tackle in a loss to the Steelers.

Stock down: K Greg Zuerlein

East Rutherford, NJ – October 14, 2024 – After missing two field goals in the second half, the Jets' Greg Zuerlein walks off the field at the end of the game. The Buffalo Bills came to MetLife Stadium to play the NY Jets. The Jets played their first game under new interim coach Jeff Ulbrich.East Rutherford, NJ – October 14, 2024 – After missing two field goals in the second half, the Jets' Greg Zuerlein walks off the field at the end of the game.

Another play, another miss. Zürlein is not having a good 2024 season. At least he made his extra point attempt. His kick was blocked against the Steelers and it is a concern.

Inventory lowered: CB Brandin Echols

Oct 20, 2024; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens (14) catches an 11-yard touchdown pass from New York Jets cornerback Brandin Echols (26) during the second quarter at Acrisure Stadium.

Echols saw more playing time for the second straight game due to DJ Reed's groin injury. He was teased again and many wondered why Steelers wide receiver George Pickens wasn't followed by Jets cornerback Sauce Garder early in the game.

Stock down: DT Quinnen Williams

Oct 20, 2024; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (3) throws a pass while being pressured by New York Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams (95) during the second quarter at Acrisure Stadium.

It was just a quiet game for Williams. Steelers running back Najee Harris managed 102 yards rushing and Williams never stood out.

Stepping up: RB Breece Hall

Oct 20, 2024; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; New York Jets running back Breece Hall (20) scores a touchdown past Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (24) in the first quarter at Acrisure Stadium.

Although it was a poor game offensively, Hall put up some numbers. He only had 38 rushing yards, but he led the Jets in passing attack. Hall had 103 yards receiving and caught a rushing touchdown.

Stock down: QB Aaron Rodgers

Two interceptions and both were extremely demoralizing for the Jets. Wilson wasn't about Rodgers, but given all the recent changes? Rodgers has no more excuses in New York.

Stepping up: TE Tyler Conklin

Conklin had his first touchdown since October 2022. That will help his stock.
