PITTSBURGH — Le'Veon Bell wondered. Martavis Bryant wondered. Heck, even Landry Jones kind of wondered how he'd do after spending the entirety of his two-plus seasons in the NFL either holding a clipboard or dressed in sweats on gameday.
Then all that time spent in meetings trying to absorb everything he could from Ben Roethlisberger started to pay off. Replacing injured Michael Vick in the third quarter against Arizona on Sunday, Jones did his best to mimic his mentor. He relaxed. He called out the signals. And he played.
The first touchdown pass of Jones' NFL career gave the Steelers confidence.
