Has Steelers TE Ladarius Green brought back that old magic for Ben Roethlisberger?

There's something about a big, tall, fast receiver that turns Ben Roethlisberger on.

Take Plaxico Burress and that 13-game win streak Roethlisberger enjoyed as a rookie.

Burress was healthy for nine of those games, but he left in free agency the following year. Roethlisberger practically begged the team, through the media, to draft another one, but to no avail.

Until 2014.

That's when the Steelers took a chance on big, tall, fast Martavis Bryant in the fourth round of the draft.

With Bryant and Roethlisberger together on the field, the Steelers were 8-2 in 2014, and then 6-3 in 2015.
