Tonight marks the Pittsburgh Steelers’ third preseason game, and we should expect something that will somewhat resemble the regular season, minus the stakes. At least to start out the game. Head coach Mike Tomlin said on Thursday that everybody who is healthy and has been practicing will be invited to participate, and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will start the game under center.
Obviously, watching Roethlisberger and the starting offense will be the primary concern in this contest. Particularly, how does he look running offensive coordinator Matt Canada’s offense—and what will that offense look like?
We have seen elements of what they intend to do on offense over the past two weeks, but with their starting quarterback in the lineup, we should get a clearer picture of what it is the Steelers offense in 2021 is actually going to be like.
