Ben Roethlisberger-QB-Pittsburgh Steelers

It’s harder to just chalk last week’s game up to a bad matchup in Cincinnati when Roethlisberger comes out and struggles for the second straight week. The Steelers beat the Bengles Week 2, but they couldn’t match that fete falling hard this week in Philadelphia.

Roethlisberger played the whole game in the 34-3 rout and ended up with 257 yards while completing 24 of his 44 passes. He didn’t throw a touchdown and turned the ball over twice (one interception, one fumble).

Fortunately, Ben and the Steelers offense will get a boost this week with the return of Le’Veon Bell. After throwing there touchdowns in each of the first two weeks, I still think Ben is a starting QB in all formats as he and the Steelers come home to face the tough Chiefs’ secondary. After Kansas City, though, things get easier with matchups against the Jets and Dolphins in Week 5 and Week 6.
