‘Only Mistake We Made All Day Was Hurting Landry Jones’: Ben Roethlisberger Recalls The Game He Won For His Backup Against Browns

Do you recall the time that former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger won a game for his backup, Landry Jones?

Many of you do, I’m sure, but in case you don’t, or need reminding, it was in week 10 of the 2015 season. Roethlisberger suffered a sprained foot a week earlier taking a sack by the Oakland Raiders’ Aldon Smith, exiting the game in the middle of the fourth quarter.

With a bye week coming up and at less than 10 percent, the Steelers were hoping that they could make it through one more game without risking aggravating Roethlisberger’s injury, having only the Cleveland Browns to face.
