O2 Sensor problems (code P0161)

So, I've had a check engine light for a while (ever since I went mudding). The error I received is:

P0161 - Powertrain
O2 Sensor Heater Circuit (Bank 2 Sensor 2)

So, I replaced the O2 sensor - the one I replaced was towards the back of the Jeep and closer to the ground, which I believe is downstream bank 2. I cleared the code, and within 10 minutes of driving the next day the light came back on with the same code.

Any idea what I should try next? Any chance I replaced the wrong sensor?
 

What brand O2?

Check wiring for opens and shorts.

Check for an exhaust leak

I believe that it was NGK.

I'll try checking the wiring, but it's so tucked up in the engine that it's tough to get to.
