The Pittsburgh Steelers throw the football more frequently than any team in the NFL, so it’s no wonder that Ben Roethlisberger leads the league in pass attempts. As I highlighted earlier this week, he is currently on-pace to record the third-most pass attempts in a season in NFL history, as well as the third-most passing yards, and the fourth-most completions.
Does offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner care? No.
Asked if there is any reason that his team’s run play percentage is so low compared to most teams, his answer, according to the team’s communication’s department, was a simple “no”.
