Let Ben Roethlisberger control the horses

I saw something on Twitter this morning saying Phillip Rivers is so hot right now because he stopped trying to be the carriage and started leading the horses controlling it. It couldn’t be more true, and something Roethlisberger needs to follow.

Right now, Big Ben is trying to do everything possible to keep Pittsburgh in games. They live and die from the passing game, and as many weapons as Roethlisberger has around him, you can’t win when one player is trying to do it all.

Allow Conner to get involved. Let Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster find a rhythm and use their feet a little bit. If everyone is making plays then this offense works a lot smoother.
