Today is the final game of the regular season for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and probably the final game of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s career. They could still be playing next week in the Wildcard round, but they will need help that they’re unlikely to get; namely, they need the Jacksonville Jaguars to beat the Indianapolis Colts (and for the Chargers and Raiders to not tie, which is much more likely if the Jaguars do beat the Colts).
So what is the focus for the day? As you might have guessed, it’s the passing game, and the pass rush. If this is the last game Ben Roethlisberger ever plays, he’s probably going to want to be slinging it all over the field, and frankly, guys like Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool could really stand to exit the 2021 season on a positive note.
