Steelers Receivers Behind AB Need To Step Up Production

It should go without saying by now for every game that he plays, but Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown impressed during the team’s season opener last Thursday, finishing the game with 133 yards on nine receptions and a touchdown, a performance that extended a number of obscure consistency streaks that the sixth-year receiver holds.

And quarterback Ben Roethlisberger also had a fine game, in spite of his 1:1 ratio of touchdowns to interceptions, throwing for 351 yards at over nine yards per pass, completing close to 70 percent of his throws.
