The Steelers are 6-2 and first in the AFC North, with a showdown against the Ravens looming in Week 11.
With teams around the league looking to add depth, Pittsburgh got on the scoreboard by trading for the Jets’ disgruntled wide receiver, Mike Williams.
Williams became expendable when the Jets acquired Davante Adams, and he’ll now join a playoff contender in the Steelers.

Pittsburgh has a stud in George Pickens (35, 548, 1 TD) but wanted more production behind Calvin Austin (25-257-2) and Van Jefferson (14-139-1).
