Ben Roethlisberger Surprised By How Little Steelers’ Offensive Starters Have Played In Preseason

We’re less than an hour away from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ preseason finale against the Atlanta Falcons. Two games in and the Steelers’ offense looks sterling, night and day from a year ago. But if there is any downside to their new-found big play nature, their quick scoring hasn’t lent itself to many reps.

On the latest edition of his Footbahlin podcast, former Steelers’ QB Ben Roethlisberger expressed surprise over how few snaps Mike Tomlin has given Kenny Pickett and the offensive starters thus far.

“I was really surprised he pulled them after that,” Roethlisberger said, referring to the first-team’s day being done about Pickett’s 25-yard touchdown against the Buffalo Bills.
