Halicke: The offense found a blueprint for success ... then abandoned it

In the wake of the 17-14 loss to the Patriots, Mason Cole stressed the need for the Steelers' offense to find their identity in order for them to take the next step. In fact, go back and read his quote in my Kickoff from last week. He says "identity" five times in one answer.

But, since it was a short week, the main point I stressed in my Kickoff for the Browns game was if we would see the true foundation of Matt Canada's offense without Ben Roethlisberger -- the only man who could go rogue seemingly at will and suffer little tangible consequences.
