The Las Vegas Raiders suffered a brutal defeat at the hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6, dropping the contest 32-13. In the process, cornerback Jack Jones got embarrassed on one play.
Jones, who had been the center of controversy a few backs back after he was benched for not giving max effort during the Week 3 loss to the Carolina Panthers, was juked out of his cleats by Steelers running back Najee Harris, who proceeded to rip off one of his big plays on Sunday.
In case you missed the play, here's the video of it. Harris' move was filthy, and Jones was absolutely faked out in every sense of the term.
NAJEE SHOOK HIM 😱

After the game, Jones wasted no time going on social media and checking out what was being said about him. And, he fired off some angry tweets in the process, which is an especially bad look after such an ugly loss.
We've provided screenshots of some of the tweets from Jones because he has since deleted them.

Jones also added, "All y'all fans and wouldn't last one quarter in this game."
Jones was claimed off waivers by the Raiders last season and went on to have a great showing. However, things have not gone as smoothly this season.
Entering Week 6, Jones surrendered a 66.7% completion rate and a 121.1 passer rating when targeted this season. He also didn't help himself by making "business decisions" in the aforementioned Week 3 contest against the Panthers.
But in fairness to Jones, nothing has gone right for the Raiders this season and that's clearly spilling over into all aspects of the team. At this rate, the Raiders will almost certainly be sellers at the deadline.
