Ben Roethlisberger has revitalized this Steelers team. If you think back to last year, the Steelers had the best defense in the NFL. Their defense almost carried them to the postseason despite one of the worst offenses in the NFL led by Mason Rudolph or Duck Hodges. It was embarrassing. Thinking back to that, it’s not a crazy surprise that the Steelers are undefeated.
Obviously, it was not expected, but Big Ben returned to Big Ben form. He is moving the ball up and down the field and putting the Steelers in the position to score. The Steelers have surrounded Roethlisberger with talented players: Juju Smith-Schuster, Chase Claypool, Diontae Johnson, James Conner, Eric Ebron, etc. All young and talented players who let Roethlisberger lead them to victory.
There were many question marks surrounding Ben coming into this season but he has answered all of them. Hoping he can remain healthy the rest of the year to see what they can do in the postseason.
