Entering the week, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger ranks sixth in the NFL in pass attempts per game, having attempted just over 39 pass on average through the first six games of the season. He averages 25.5 completions per game.
Yet that is still not enough to have everybody feel like they’re contributing at a satisfactory level. Of course, that may have something to do with wide receivers Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool averaging 10 and 8.4 targets per game, respectively, taking up nearly half of the opportunities.
One player who has definitely not had the opportunities that he has been used to in the past is eighth-year tight end Eric Ebron, in his second season with the Steelers.
