Why the Steelers Offense Will Come Roaring Back in 2021

In the Pittsburgh Steelers' third preseason game, we saw a small sample of what their offense can do in 2021.

Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger took live reps in new offensive coordinator Matt Canada's offense and looked regular-season ready. Through three drives, he completed eight of 10 passes for 137 yards and two touchdowns in a 26-20 win against the Detroit Lions on Saturday.

On his second drive, Roethlisberger tossed a deep ball to wideout Diontae Johnson, who hauled it in for 43 yards. Though the 39-year-old signal-caller told reporters he "put too much air" on his deep strike, Steelers fans should be excited to see him take an early shot downfield.
