How to watch tonight's Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New York Jets game in Week 2 of the NFL preseason schedule

It's a football night in Pittsburgh as the Steelers prepare to host the New York Jets for a preseason matchup. Here's how to watch tonight's game at Acrisure Stadium.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will take the field tonight for their second preseason game under new head coach Mike McCarthy, who replaced Mike Tomlin when he stepped down after 19 years with the team.

During the team's opening game of the preseason, rookie quarterback Drew Allar accounted for three touchdowns as Pittsburgh beat the Green Bay Packers 28-9.

Will Howard is expected to start tonight's game with Allar backing him up.  

Neither Mason Rudolph, nor Aaron Rodgers, who has said this season will be his last, will take the field for tonight's game.

"I saw what I needed to see from Mason last week," McCarthy said on Wednesday.

Kickoff between the Steelers and the Jets is set for 7 p.m. at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh.
