Two touchdowns and a victory over the Arizona Cardinals were enough for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Landry Jones to win over running back Le’Veon Bell.
After replacing an injured and ineffective Mike Vick in the second half Sunday, Jones completed 8 of 12 passes for 169 yards, including an 8-yard touchdown to put the Steelers up in the third quarter and an 88-yard score to Martavius Bryant to put the finishing touch on Pittsburgh’s 25-13 win.
Bell, who rushed for 88 yards rushing, compared Jones to injured starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
“It was really like Ben’s little brother out there,” Bell said, via Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
