Friday's preseason matchup against the New York Jets was pretty difficult to watch for any Pittsburgh Steelers fans, including myself. The offense just couldn't get anything going, and the Steelers were unfortunately shut out.
Thanks to the snap counts from the preseason matchup, fans can get a better idea of which players were most responsible for the ugly blowout loss, including a lackluster day from Broderick Jones.
Here's a look at how many snaps every Steeler on offense logged against the Jets.

Jones put together one of the worst performances by a Steeler against the Jets, struggling in run blocking while also giving up a handful of pressures and two sacks, including one to a fifth-string edge rusher. It was clear, based on the snap count, that Jones' struggles and large snap count played a massive role in the loss.
