3 reasons why Steelers will make the playoffs this year
By Kody Duncan
Ben Roethlisberger limiting turnovers
If Ben Roethlisberger can continue to limit poor decision-making, the Steelers will be well on their way to the playoffs. With the Steelers focusing on being a balanced team and running the ball more effectively, this will help Ben not force things and will also open up the pass game when it’s needed.
In the past 3 games, Big Ben has been quietly good. He hasn’t put up amazing numbers but has been efficient enough to win games. He has passed for 748 yards with 4 touchdowns and no interceptions. He has one fumble that could have been costly against Seattle, but the bigger concern for him is the poor passes at crucial times.
He did have one very bad decision against the Browns when he threw it in triple coverage that made me scratch my head but was fortunate that it wasn’t picked off. He just needs to continue to not force the throw and good things will happen. If the Steelers continue to run the ball and limit Big Ben from throwing the ball and creating turnovers, then Pittsburgh will make the playoffs again this year. Ben can be a great game manager at the age of 39 if they keep the same identity from these past 3 games.
