Lolley: How Steelers can compete in 2022

Steelers players report to training camp a week from today. And if I've been asked once, I've been asked 100 times how the team can be better in 2022 than it was in 2021?

After all, as much as Ben Roethlisberger struggled at times last season, he pulled the team's bacon out of the fire with a league-high six fourth-quarter comebacks.

But we really don't have to look back to the pre-Roethlisberger era of 2003 to figure out how the Steelers will handle the post-Roethlisberger era. All we really need to do is look at the 2019 season to see how the Steelers, and more importantly, Mike Tomlin will handle life without his franchise quarterback.
