Steelers' Jalen Ramsey gets last word with Garrett Wilson to save Aaron Rodgers' legendary day image

At the end of the first half, Jalen Ramsey and Garrett Wilson shared some words and shoving.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' star defensive back hit New York Jets' QB Justin Fields after a play, and it caused some frustration for Fields' college teammate and star wide receiver.

Wilson came to Fields' defense then.

A couple quarters later, it was Ramsey's turn.

The Steelers had made a comeback to take a 34-32 lead in the final minutes. They needed four Aaron Rodgers touchdown passes and then a go-ahead Chris Boswell field goal from 60 yards out.

The Jets had a bit of a drive going, though. They just needed to get into field goal range to have a chance at a win.

On fourth-and-3, Fields rolled left, and he probably could've run it. But he saw Wilson open toward the left sideline and made a throw on the move.

It was on the money, and Wilson started to bring it into his chest.

But from behind, Ramsey came sprinting and delivered a big hit on Wilson.

It jarred the ball loose.

With 25 seconds left and no timeouts for the Jets, that was the ballgame.

The CBS cameras caught Ramsey and Wilson after the clock expired, exchanging and handshake and an embrace.

Game has to recognize game, even after a tough outcome like this one for the Jets.
