Preseason Offensive Play of the Game: Jones connects with the “X-Man” for six

Steel City Underground will pick a play of the game from each side of the ball each week of the Steelers 2017 season. Stay tuned as we hand select the very best from the black and gold!

The first half ended with the Steelers down 13-6. The full-time starters, nor the mixing and matching of backups with some first teamers were able to produce a touchdown on the offense’s drives in the first two quarters.

However, after getting into a better rhythm, the offense moved the ball downfield with ease on their first possession of the second half. With Landry Jones under center, the Steelers marched 63 yards in eight plays, capping off a 4:22 drive with this sensational catch by tight end Xavier Grimble.

Pittsburgh would have tied the game at this moment if not for a missed extra point by the usually steady Chris Boswell. Therefore, the score remained 13-12 at the time, on the Steelers only TD on the evening.
