It has probably been quite a while, but at least if last season is anything to go by, then the Pittsburgh Steelers have finally rediscovered an equilibrium between their passer and their pass protection. There have been times in the team’s not too distant past that they have had very good lines blocking for not-so-stellar quarterbacks.
More recently, the Steelers have spent years surrounding Ben Roethlisberger with an offensive line that he deserves, and with which he can work into the twilight years of his career. It’s almost somewhat fitting, then, that they both ended up dealing with some freak injuries in spite of the fact that they performed well overall.
