Roethlisberger Admits He’s Probably Not Forcing Ball To Brown As Much

With three regular season games now in the books, the Pittsburgh Steelers leading pass catcher is JuJu Smith-Schuster and not Antonio Brown. In fact, Smith Schuster enters Week 4 as the AFC’s leading receiver in both receptions and receiving yardage as he has caught 27 passes for 356 yards and a touchdown. Brown, on the other hand, has caught 24 passes for 210 yards and touchdowns on the season.

During his weekly interview Tuesday morning on 93.7 The Fan, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was asked about him not connecting as much as he usually does with Brown at the start of the regular season and if that is in any way related to something different going on with defensive coverages the Pittsburgh offense is seeing.
