It was hard to find high points in last night’s game for the Pittsburgh Steelers, though some were more obvious than others. Naturally, James Conner was a big winner early on, and rookie wide receiver James Washington dominated the second half of the game with a series of very impressive receptions.
But one of the players who may have benefitted most from last night’s game was one who didn’t even play, though he was in uniform. That would be Landry Jones, the sixth-year quarterback whose fate as the long-term backup was sealed when the Steelers drafted Mason Rudolph in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
