Steelers Look To Future

PITTSBURGH (AP) – The Pittsburgh Steelers survived the loss of franchise quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in Week 2 to finish 8-8, in 2019. Where the Steelers go from here will depend largely on how Roethlisberger recovers from right elbow surgery. Pittsburgh’s offense languished without Roethlisberger. Replacements Mason Rudolph and Devlin Hodges failed to give the Steelers a consistent boost, forcing the defense to carry much of the load. Pittsburgh’s shot at the playoffs ended with a late three-game swoon. While most of one of the NFL’s best defenses will return in 2020, the offense needs to find playmakers to complement Roethlisberger.
