Without a doubt, the Steelers offense struggled immensely in 2021, ranking bottom five in passing and rushing offense. The quick release time of Ben Roethlisberger, as well as the lack of big-time plays and inconsistent O-line play proved to be a fatal combination for the Steelers offense. In a recent NFL.com interview, NFL Analyst and Senior Producer Greg Cosell delved into some of the Steelers offensive deficiencies, citing key improvements that must be made in 2022.
“Well, one thing they absolutely need to look like, which they did not have last year. Even with big Ben is a meaningful intermediate passing game,” Cosell noted in the interview.
