The Pittsburgh Steelers got some unfortunate news this week concerning starting left tackle Broderick Jones. He was ruled out of the Bills' game early in the week. It has only worsened, with speculation now suggesting that his neck injury may be season-ending.
Losing a starter never comes at a good time. Jones' play was improving week over week, and you would have liked to see his improved play continue through the season to determine if he is deserving of the fifth-year option.
However, those aren’t the biggest issues with his loss, and it points at some criticism this team needs to take ownership of.
