The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cleveland Browns, 27-14, on Sunday without their No. 1 receiver in George Pickens. Despite not having Pickens, former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger wanted the team to push the ball down the field more.
“Ask Coach [Mike Tomlin] where’s Mike Williams?” Roethlisberger said Tuesday on the DVE Morning Show. “I was screaming at our offense, because the safety, most of the game was like eight, nine yards deep. I’m like, ‘Take a shot, somebody. Come on.’ And so I thought going into this game, I was like, ‘Ok, with George down, this will be a great opportunity for them to really see Mike Williams and let’s get him in there, and really develop into what I think they need, is a true number two.
