Tim Benz: Steelers explain plan to deploy WRs without Antonio Brown
The comment from Ben Roethlisberger resonated. Clearly, JuJu Smith-Schuster was banged up during the season finale. That’s part of the reason why the Steelers’ passing offense was so lackluster en route to an ugly 16-13 victory over a last-place Bengals team. An even bigger reason, though, was the absence of...
