It took Landry Jones over three NFL seasons to finally get into a regular season game but when he did today he made the most of it.\u00a0 The former Oklahoma\u00a0Sooner quarterback great tossed two touchdown passes to Martavis Bryant, one a\u00a0ten yard catch and added 78 yard run after the completion (88 yards in total and a game clinching score) as Jones went 8 of 12 for 168 yards and no interceptions.<\/p>\n

Jones replaced an injured Michael Vick in the 3rd quarter and the 8th offensive drive for the Steelers of the day.\u00a0 Vick was not effective in his play today.<\/p>\n

From CBS Sports:\u00a0 More importantly for the Steelers, the offense resembles what it looked like with Roethlisberger under center, at least in the sense that game plans don\u2019t have to be revamped to accommodate a left-handed, run-first quarterback who has had six weeks with the playbook.<\/p>\n

\u201cLandry\u2019s been watching Ben for a long time,\u201d\u00a0Pitt\u2019s Le\u2019Veon Bell\u00a0said after the game. \u201cHe knows the offense like the back of his hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh has found their starter next week and their back-up quarterback for the near future.<\/p>\n
