Numbers add up for Roethlisberger in 2020

There's no question the Steelers missed Ben Roethlisberger in 2019. Their passing offense went from being one of the league's best in 2018, to 31st in 2019.

But there also was a feeling the Steelers had thrown the ball too much in 2018, when Roethlisberger topped the NFL in passing yardage with 5,129 yards as the team threw the ball two out of every three plays.

It's unlikely the Steelers will throw the ball that much again in 2020 with Roethlisberger returning from an elbow injury that required season-ending surgery after just six quarters of play.
