Ben Roethlisberger is back as the Pittsburgh Steelers' starting quarterback, and he's...well, not better than ever. But he's good enough to make the Steelers a legitimate contender after last year's disastrous results with Mason Rudolph and Devlin Hodges behind center.
The 38-year-old signal-caller doesn't have to be the player he once was because the Steelers feature a well-rounded roster, though a few concerning areas still need to be addressed after Monday's 26-16 victory over the New York Giants.
Roethlisberger will need help along the way, and the playmaking skills that made him a two-time Super Bowl champion are still present even if he looked a little rusty at points during Monday's performance.
