The Pittsburgh Steelers are sitting at 2-0 coming into their Week 3 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Although the team is sporting a perfect record, the offense hasn't exactly been firing on all cylinders despite 47 points scored over the course for the first two games.
Veteran quarterback Ben Roethlisberger recently talked about the Steelers not living up to expectations offensively as of yet. Roethlisberger believes the offense will start to come and around and playing flawlessly in the beginning of the season isn't exactly beneficial, via Ray Pittifaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
“No one is going to be perfect,” quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. “We know that. We’d like to be as good as we can be. We know there will be mistakes, but if we can continue to make improvements, that’s important. You don’t want to be playing your best football right now. You want to find ways to win football games and keep getting better so your best football, hopefully, is being played in December and January.”
The Steelers have arguably one of the most talented rosters in the NFL on the offensive side of the football. The storied franchise has a two-time Super Bowl champion under center with Roethlisberger and quite possibly the two best players in the league at wide receiver and running back in Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell.
Even with all this firepower offensively, the team struggled against the division rival Cleveland Browns in Week 1 and leaned on their kicker in Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings with four field goals from Chris Boswell.
In Week 3, the Steelers will try to get their offense to keep making strides as they go on the road to face the winless Bears in Chicago.
