The Steelers’ offense moving the ball against defenses is nothing new if you’ve watched this team for the last two seasons. But it was the way they did it in last night’s win over the New Orleans Saints that was a bit surprising, definitely encouraging, and a precursor for things to come.
Led by Ben Roethlisberger, the team ran a no-huddle, up-tempo offense despite playing on the road in a loud environment. Clearly, it didn’t have any affect, the Steelers marching down the field for touchdowns on their opening pair of drives.
“We were probably 90% no huddle, calling it as we see it and going,” Roethlisberger told the media following the game.
