Plays of the Year – Jalen Ramsey stuffs Garrett Wilson

Steel City Underground presents our 2025 Plays of the Year series: a weekly rewind through the biggest moments, breakout performances, and unforgettable highlights from last season’s Pittsburgh Steelers campaign.

The Pittsburgh Steelers went head to head with the New York Jets in Week 1 and were able to make a late-game push that resulted in a 34-32 victory. There were numerous highlights during the game, but one particular play was big enough to be considered the first ‘Steelers Hit of the Week’ of the season.

In the waning seconds of the fourth quarter, Chris Boswell kicked off to the New York Jets following his career-high 60 yard field goal conversion. Up 34-32, the Jets had just 0:56 seconds to attempt to get the ball down the field and set up Nick Folk for a potential game-winning field goal.

The drive went as follows:

On 1st & 10, Justin Fields passed over the middle to Tyler Johnson for a 7-yard gain that was stopped by Patrick Queen and Juan Thornhill. On the next play, Fields threw an incompletion. On 3rd & 3 at the NY 38, Fields once again threw an incomplete pass, the ball meant for Breece Hall.

On 4th & 3 with just 0:25 left in the game, Fields took the snap from shotgun and threw short, left, to Garrett Wilson. Wilson, who had gone head to head with Jalen Ramsey throughout the game, got a shock. Ramsey was waiting and put a legal hit on Wilson that woke up all of Steelers Nation.
