A pair of former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks were victorious during the XFL’s third week over the weekend. Or at least I thought, as I’ll explain later. While Cardale Jones of the seemingly hottest team in the league, the DC Defenders, took a major step back, PJ Walker has continued to look like the best player in the eight-team league.
These are not the former Steelers quarterbacks, of course. The first would be Landry Jones, a 2013 fourth-round pick who spent five seasons with the team. After missing the opener with a knee injury, which his Dallas Renegades lost, he has won their past two games, and he played better in his second start.
