On this week's edition of “Sunday Night Football,” one team plays its second straight primetime game while the other team plays its second “SNF” matchup in three weeks. Both are poised for potentially big changes to their game in Week 7.

The New York Jets and new addition Davante Adams will face the Pittsburgh Steelers and a potential new starting quarterback in Russell Wilson in Pittsburgh.

New York is looking for a victory for the first time since a Week 3 win over the New England Patriots. The Jets' three-game losing streak has dropped the team to 2-4 and third place in the AFC East.

Meanwhile, the Steelers are coming off a 32-13 road win against the Las Vegas Raiders. They're looking for clarity on their battle for the starting quarterback as Wilson makes his debut. He has been battling a calf injury since training camp, which allowed junior Justin Fields to make six consecutive starts to start the season.

Here's what you need to know for tonight's Sunday Night Football matchup:

NFL POWER RANKINGS: Where do the Jets end up after losing to the Bills and Davante Adams?

Who's playing on Sunday Night Football tonight?

In the seventh week of “Sunday Night Football,” two teams that have just undergone major roster changes meet.

The Steelers, coming off a win on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders, could make a change at quarterback. After a 4-2 start that saw young signalman Justin Fields start all six games under center to start the year, the team is poised to move rookie and veteran Russell Wilson into the starting lineup in Week 7.

Earlier this week, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin made no official commitment to move Wilson into the starting lineup on Sunday, although there were reports the veteran would take first-team reps. The former Bronco and Seahawk is currently “being considered” to make his first start for Pittsburgh after suffering a calf injury earlier in the year.

On the other side of the field, the Jets are playing their second straight game in prime time – following their “Monday Night Football” loss to the Bills in Week 6 – and their third straight game on national television – including the loss to the Vikings in London.

This time around, New York will have a new pass-catching weapon. On Tuesday, the Jets acquired wide receiver Davante Adams in a trade with the Raiders, reuniting Aaron Rodgers with his favorite target from his time in Green Bay. Adams has struggled with a hamstring injury in recent weeks but is expected to be ready to play on Sunday night.

The stakes for this week's Sunday Night Football game are set.

The Jets are hoping the reunion between Rodgers and Adams can provide a spark that will right the ship after losing each of their last three games. The Steelers may choose their starting quarterback for the remainder of the season.

OPINION: It's only a matter of time before Russell Wilson takes over the Steelers' starting QB job
