Somehow, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ entire goal on offense has become Ben Roethlisberger getting rid of the ball quickly. It’s like nothing else matters. Not scoring points or picking up first downs. Just Roethlisberger releasing the ball and avoiding getting hit.
There’s no running game to speak of. There’s very little happening downfield in the passing game. It’s a predictable offense seemingly designed to minimize a future Hall of Fame quarterback, which seems counterintuitive.
The Buffalo Bills were there to take advantage. The Steelers got little going on offense and when Roethlisberger threw a pick-six late in the first half, the Bills took over the game.
