Armed with a bevy of receivers, a premier running back, and an elite offensive line, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a near-perfect surrounding cast. Their question marks include the lack of a top-tier tight end threat, and they don’t have a well-regarded scheming offensive coordinator.

It matters little with this much talent, though. Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown may be the best running back and wide receiver in the NFL, and are now augmented with JuJu Smith-Schuster and James Washington. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger just needs to show up and put the ball in the general vicinity of these playmakers and they’ll produce.

The line is a separating factor that’s too often overlooked, though. Each individual along the line can hold his own on an island in order to maximize available receiving threats. It may be the final year that this entire offense is in Pittsburgh, so enjoy the fireworks while this talent is all on the same team.
