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.
