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 at critics who roasted him for what they thought was poor play against Indianapolis.
“lol come show me how it’s done then,” Jones wrote, adding a crying-laughing emoji, in response to someone who said to get him off of the Steelers on X.

“Come show me how to do it,” Jones replied when another person said he “absolutely sucks.”
When someone wrote, “Broderick jones f–king sucks,” Jones replied, “I get it from you.”
Another person called Jones a “bust” and he replied with, “Lol you don’t know [s–t] about football I’m convinced.”
You doing the same thing as me tho🤔😂😂

“Bro you can’t be serious right now!? Go watch some film and work [the f–k] you doing on socials,” another person wrote, adding a clown emoji.
“You doing the same thing as me tho,” Jones replied with a few crying-laughing emojis.
The Steelers’ offense couldn’t find a rhythm and they had no answer for the Colts’ run game.
Jones, who said he was not in the right mindset, did not speak with reporters after the Steelers’ loss at Lucas Oil Stadium.
His frustration clearly boiled over after he faced scrutiny for his performance against the Broncos in Week 2.
The 23-year-old committed three penalties on a single second-quarter drive and was subsequently benched for the rest of the game — losing his starting spot to rookie Troy Fautanu.
The Steelers returned to Jones after Fautanu suffered a season-ending dislocated kneecap that will require surgery to address ligament damage.
The Steelers (3-1) face the Cowboys (2-2) in Pittsburgh on Sunday, Oct. 6.
