1) The Steelers struggled early in the season, but they’ve strung together a few wins as of late. What caused the turnaround? What does this team’s future look like going forward?

Ben Roethlisberger is the biggest reason why the Steelers have played competitive football as of late. Letting Big Ben rock and fire to his talented receivers in the passing game has kept the Steelers competitive lately, and Roethlisberger was named November’s AFC Offensive Player of the Month for his efforts.

With Roethlisberger under center, this team will always be competitive. If the offensive line can congeal and stay healthy, then the Steelers have a real shot of becoming one of the best offenses in the league. Of course, rebuilding the rapidly declining defense is an entire matter altogether.
