After being inserted into the starting lineup again at right tackle in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers, things were looking up for second-year Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Broderick Jones.

Against the Chargers, Jones was solid as both a run blocker and in pass protection, holding up well against a tough Chargers pass rush.

But in Week 4 on the road against the Indianapolis Colts, Jones had some issues. He was charged with one sack allowed and three pressures given up, grading out at a 42.6 overall in pass protection from Pro Football Focus. That worst among the offensive linemen who played in the game for the Steelers.
