While the Jets have nothing to play for except pride on Sunday, they still have a chance to put Pittsburghs playoff hopes on the self.

Jets running back LeVeon Bell and offensive assistant Hines Ward will be squaring off against their former team for the first time. Bell has insisted that this is just another game, but Ward wants a Gatorade shower if the Jets are able to pull off the upset.

A win over the Steelers wouldnt be the most surprising thing New York has pulled off this season. However, besides the injuries that continue to afflict Gang Green, the offensive ineptitude has plagued one of the leagues worst units. It might be more of the same against one of the leagues best defensive units on Sunday.

Here are four things you need to know for the Jets Week 16 clash with Pittsburgh.

LeVeon Bell will play his first career game against his former team on Sunday.

While Bell expects a 50/50 reception mixed with cheers and jeers, the Jets running back claims he wont have any added motivation facing the Steelers.

Each and every game I play I try to give it my all. I guess if I can find an extra squeeze in there, Im going to try, Bell said Friday. It is what it is with me. I always try to go out there and give my best.

Whether Bell believes that or not, he is having his worst statistical season to date.He has rushed for just 676 yards on 204 carries with three rushing touchdowns. He also has 57 catches for 404 yards and a score.

The Jets are going to need Bell to run rampant on Sunday to give themselves a fighting chance. A revenge game might not be in the cards for Bell, but hell certainly be looking to eclipse the season-best 87-yard rushing performance that he set last week.
