While he might not try to do it quite as often as he used to—largely because he’s both better able and now more frequently designed to execute quick-release passes—but Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger still remains capable of being one of the deadliest passers on scramble drills in the National Football League.
That was something that we saw illustrated to great effect last week at the end of the third quarter as he connected with Antonio Brown for a breakaway 78-yard touchdown that breathed some life into a desperate Steelers team. And that is precisely what the Denver Broncos will be trying to avoid today.
