Mike Vick premature exit against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday didn't hurt the Pittsburgh Steelers' fortunes.

After throwing for just six yards over two-plus quarters, Vick left after suffering a right hamstring injury during the third quarter of the team's 25-13 victory.

Vick appeared to hurt himself on a scramble during what had been a disastrous afternoon for him under center. From there, third-string passer Landry Jones took the field to guide Pittsburgh on a four-play, 32-yard scoring march capped by his 8-yard touchdown strike to Martavis Bryant, which put the Steelers up 12-10 over the Cardinals. Jones finished connecting on 8 of 12 passes for 168 yards and two interceptions.

Landry's march was the first hint of offense for a Steelers attack that floundered under Vick and desperately misses Big Ben.
