PITTSBURGH — Landry Jones will be looking for a job in March. Consider Sunday’s regular-season finale against Cleveland the Pittsburgh Steelers’ backup quarterback’s last best chance at landing an interview.

Nearing the end of his fourth season behind Ben Roethlisberger, Jones believes his personal learning curve has leveled off. That the game is slowing down. That he still has the talent to play at the highest level.

So while the outcome against the Browns won’t make a lick of difference in where or when the AFC North champion Steelers open the playoffs, Jones is well aware it could make a significant impact on what locker room he’s in next fall.

“It’s in the back of your mind,” said Jones, who will make his fourth career start while the Steelers to give Roethlisberger the day off to keep him healthy for the postseason. “First and foremost you want to win the game. There’s nothing that replaces going out there and getting a win.”

That’s something Jones has only done once in four years, and even that comes with a major asterisk. He started at Heinz Field against the Browns in November 2015, only to leave in the first quarter with an ankle injury. Roethlisberger, held out with a sprained foot, came on in relief and threw for 379 yards in a 30-9 win.

There won’t be a safety net this time around with Roethlisberger inactive. Only the shot to prove what Jones can do.

“Landry has the opportunity to go out and the way backup quarterbacks are being paid, he’s a free agent next year, there’s no telling whether he’s a $4 or $5 million a year guy, or be a $2 or $3 million a year backup,” guard Ramon Foster said. “There’s a lot for him on the line.”

Jones played solidly if not spectacularly in his one start this season, completing 29 of 47 passes for 281 yards with a touchdown and an interception in a 27-16 loss to New England on Oct. 23.
