Bleacher Report writer, Chris Roling, named the Pittsburgh Steelers, along with five other teams, as a “make it or break it” team for the 2021 season.
Roling named the Steelers along with Arizona Cardinals, Dallas Cowboys, Cincinnati Bengals and New Orleans Saints, as five teams facing a do-or-die season.
“Now 39 and working with a surgically repaired throwing elbow, Ben Roethlisberger is in what appears to be his final year with the Pittsburgh Steelers. It doesn’t help that last year a win-now core went a fluky 11-0 to start the season before finishing 1-4 down the stretch. The final game was a brutal loss to the Cleveland Browns in the playoffs.
From that vantage point, things already seem to be declining. The Steelers lost franchise linebacker Bud Dupree in free agency and cut offensive line mainstay David DeCastro, so one could argue Big Ben might have to do more of the heavy lifting than usual.”
Roling also added that this could be the ‘swan song’ of the “Big Ben” era. However, also said that could be the prime time for the Steelers to start rebuilding the offense.
“Should Roethlisberger falter, the Steelers are positioned to have about $76 million in free cap space in 2022,” Roling concluded in his thoughts on the Steelers.
