Pittsburgh Steelers run no-huddle offense at high rate vs. Bills
By Josh Sanchez
The Pittsburgh Steelers and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger have not been shy about the fact that they would like to be running more no-huddle during the 2014-15 NFL regular season, so when they stepped out onto the field against the Buffalo Bills they tried putting the system to work.

When the Steelers had Roethlisberger and their first-team offense on the field, they ran almost exclusively from the no-huddle and it was a huge success.
Among the highlights for the Steelers in Week 2 was a a 76-yard, catch-and-run from wide receiver Antonio Brown that went for a touchdown.
The Steelers went on to win the game, 19-16, in front of their home fans at Heinz Field.
After the game, Roethlisberger spoke about what he saw from his team in the no-huddle attack and he seemed to be pleased.
“The communication was what I wanted to work on,” Roethlisberger said, via the team’s official website, “and we didn’t have mental errors, of what I saw. It was a good start to the no-huddle.”
Roethlisberger finished the game on 8-of-11 passing for 128 yards and two touchdowns.
