We’re not talking about Ben Roethlisberger’s elbow, except to talk about how we’re not talking about it. That so far is the story of the 2020 season, although the broadcast seemed to wonder about his short passes until he launched a deep, 84-yard touchdown to Chase Claypool on a pretty ball.
But the story for the game offensively may have been the men up front protecting him. While it was not a flawless job by any means, the effort that they put in while working in two new and relatively inexperienced starters on the right side of the line was significant.
