The Pittsburgh Steelers felt the first taste of defeat on Sunday after a 27-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Pittsburgh fell to 3-1 on the year, but very much still in prime position to compete in the AFC North.
However, at least one current starter didn’t take the loss too well, and let fans know on social media.
Steelers Starter Ripped After Attacking Own Fans Following Loss To Colts
In the wake of his team’s 27-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4, Jones responded to critics on Twitter (X):
😂lol bro do you even know football?

According to journalist Dave Holcomb:
Jones hasn’t exactly played at a Pro Bowl level to begin this season. But some of the criticism he received on social media on September 29 seemed unjust or inaccurate.
Jones’ play, though, has left a lot to be desired. Before Week 4, 59 offensive tackles had played at least 50% of his team’s offensive snaps. The Pro Football Focus player grades had Jones ranked last in that group.
Even though Jones hasn’t fared well in the PFF player grades, his play seemed serviceable during Week 1. But the Steelers had Jones play on a rotational basis in Week 2, where he didn’t perform well at all.
On the only drive he played during the game, Jones committed three penalties.
Jones officially lost the right tackle job to rookie Troy Fautanu after that series. But Fautanu didn’t make another start before suffering a regular season-ending injury on September 20.
Despite Jones’ reaction to fans, his play is calling into question whether or not he should be in the starting lineup. Will Pittsburgh consider a change?
