The Ohio State connection is already paying off for the New York Jets.

Quarterback Justin Fields and his No. 1 wide receiver, Garrett Wilson, connect on a deep ball for the team’s first touchdown of the year against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

On first and 10 near midfield, Fields connected with Wilson for a 33-yard touchdown, which gave the Jets a 10-7 lead at the end of the first quarter.

The connection between Fields and Wilson offers Jets fans a glimpse of what could become a dangerous connection this season that can potentially reset the trajectory of New York’s offense.
