Stat Line Not The Full Story For Landry Jones In Preseason Opener

The Pittsburgh Steelers were set on getting a nice, long look at third-year quarterback Landry Jones on Sunday night during the Hall of Fame game, and they certainly did that. He played nearly every snap during the game, excepting a small handful of plays during which Tyler Murphy served as a read option quarterback.

But Jones was the only one of the two to actually throw a pass, of which he threw 32. The official stats show that he completed 16 of those passes for a completion percentage of just 50, which is about where his preseason career average has been in his first two years.
