Big Ben Will Have Four Passing Touchdowns to Different Receivers

Ben Roethlisberger having a big game and throwing for four passing touchdowns is a good game, but it is nothing out of the ordinary for the veteran. What will be unique about this week’s game is that he will connect with four different receivers for those touchdowns.

JuJu Smith-Schuster is an obvious choice for one and Diontae Johnson had a nice week one that will set him up for a touchdown in week two. One toss to a tight end and one to a running back will give Big Ben four touchdowns and will show just how talented this offense can become.

Roethlisberger Will Lose a Fumble and Toss an Interception

This will be a game where the Steelers understand early that they are the better team. They will be able to move the ball down the field efficiently and effectively, but turnovers could benefit the Broncos being able to stick around in the game.

Even without Von Miller, Denver has a good pass rush and they will end up strip sacking Big Ben early in the first half. Once things settle down and Pittsburgh is having fun again, a forced throw will be picked off. The Steelers should win this game and the score shouldn’t be too close, but some mistakes will give the coaching staff plenty to work on for next week.
