Given the name, “the Steel Curtain” the Pittsburgh Steelers used to be known for their formidable defenses.

The defense is still in question heading into the 2016 season, but is heading into the right direction.

However, they are now known for their high flying offense. QB Ben Roethlisberger is still playing at an elite level and is setting new career bests with a dominant offense.

Surrounded by play makers such as Antonio Brown, arguably the best wide receiver in the league, RB Le’Veon Bell, and former San Diego Chargers’ TE Ladarius Green,  it should be another great year for Big Ben and co. should he and his offense stay healthy.
