Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Pro Football Focus laments Ben Roethlisberger’s ability to throw the football down the field.
It’s no secret that Roethlisberger struggled to consistently connect on deep shots in 2020, one year removed from reconstructive elbow surgery. He was pretty strong in that department early in the 2020 season before fading down the stretch, which is understandable.
But according to Pro Football Focus analyst Steve Palazzolo, Roethlisberger needs to be even more aggressive in 2021 if the Steelers want to make up for a perceived regression on the offensive line and in the secondary.
