JuJu Smith-Schuster Explains Steelers’ Lack Of Deep Passing Presence Against Titans

One thing that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger typically does not like to do is to throw against conventional Cover 2 defenses. For whatever reason, he has always had a more difficult time navigating that look—and he did just throw three interceptions against one of them in the Tennessee Titans, so perhaps he is wise to.

Of course, he did throw the ball 49 times against the Titans on Sunday, but he kept it in front of him. 34 of his pass attempts traveled no more than nine yards beyond the line of scrimmage, with eight passes being thrown behind the line.
