Steelers' Broderick Jones fires back at fans in ugly social media feud

Steelers offensive tackle Broderick Jones had time after Pittsburgh's 27-24 loss to the undermanned Colts on Sunday.

Jones, the Steelers' 2023 first-round pick out of Georgia, hit back as critics called him out for what they said was a poor game against Indianapolis.

“lol then come and show me how it's done,” Jones wrote, adding a crying laugh emoji in response to someone who said they should cut him from the Steelers at X.

“Come and show me how it's done,” Jones replied when another person said he “absolutely sucks.”

When someone wrote, “Broderick Jones sucks,” Jones replied, “I get that from you.”

Another person called Jones a “failure” and he replied: “Lol you don't know anything about football I'm sure.”

“Brother, you’re not serious!?” Watch a movie and do some work (the FK) you do on social media,” another person wrote, adding a clown emoji.

“You do the same thing I do,” Jones replied with a few crying and laughing emojis.

The Steelers offense couldn't find a rhythm and they had no answer to the Colts' running game.

Jones, who said he was not in the right mindset, did not speak to reporters after the Steelers' loss at Lucas Oil Stadium.

His frustration clearly boiled over after he came under scrutiny for his performance against the Broncos in Week 2.

The 23-year-old took three penalties in a single drive in the second quarter and was then benched for the remainder of the game. He lost his starting spot to rookie Troy Fautanu.

The Steelers returned to Jones after Fautanu suffered a season-ending dislocated kneecap that required surgery to repair the ligament damage.

The Steelers (3-1) will face the Cowboys (2-2) on Sunday, October 6th in Pittsburgh.
