Despite him currently leading the NFL in passing yards through the first four weeks of the 2018 regular season, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has struggled when it comes to him connecting not only with wide receiver Antonio Brown anywhere on the field, but deep and outside the numbers to all his receivers as well.
With the only real change in offensive wide receiver personnel from last year being wide receiver Martavis Bryant now being gone, Roethlisberger was asked Wednesday if the team no longer having his speed to stretch the field vertically is somehow responsible for him not being able to connect with Brown as much as he’d like to so far this season.
