Credit whoever you want. Whether that’s Ben Roethlisberger and his quick release, receivers who get open, or the offensive line. Really, every unit deserves ginormous amounts of credit. The result is the same. At a time where maybe it’s as difficult as ever, the Pittsburgh Steelers are a historically good pass protection unit.
Defenses are built around one thing. Getting after the QB. That’s why the top players in football are pass rushers. It’s why the Steelers will back up the money truck to TJ Watt’s house this summer. It’s why every single week, we’re talking about some element of pass rush.
