Steelers Gab 2017 Week 5 NFL Preview – Jacksonville at Pittsburgh

3. Protect Big Ben

The Steelers are going to once again focus on the run game (more on that in a moment) but if there’s one thing that the Jags have done well early in the 2017 season, it’s get to the quarterback.

That’s going to put more stress on the pass blocking for the Steelers, they have no choice, they have to keep their quarterback upright when he goes back to pass.

Ben Roethlisberger is going to do what he always does, which is try to create under pressure, but it would be a great start if the guys up front give him some space and time throw throw.

If they can do that, the Steelers may hit some downfield shots today.

    Great effort by Steelers today! Keep watching and supporting Tomlin and this joke of a team. I’ll be back when he’s gone.
