James Harrison has never been one to mince words, and Michael Vick’s play won’t warrant a retraction even if he wanted one. With Ben Roethlisberger still maybe a week away from returning from a left knee injury, Landry Jones could finally get his shot in Pittsburgh.
Michael Vick has been ineffective in Roethlisberger’s absence, and a pulled hamstring allowed Jones to see some action. Action is exactly what the former Oklahoma Sooner brought, leading the Steelers back for a 25-13 victory while completing 8-of-12 passes for 168 yards and two touchdowns.
After the game, Harrison told reporters who he thinks should lead the team going forward to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
James Harrison on Landry Jones: "He's our quarterback now."

Le’Veon Bell agreed.
Steelers uniformly say Landry Jones able to comfortably run team's offense. "It was like he was Ben's little brother," LeVeon Bell says.
