3. Ben Roethlisberger vs. New York Giants

There aren’t many quarterbacks who are capable of putting together quite as explosive of performances as Ben Roethlisberger. With a matchup against a team like the New York Giants who has a less than stellar defense, he could have a strong outing.

A real issue for the Giants is the fact that aside from the interior defensive line, their defense is set up to struggle. There is a real lack for a complete group on the edges, at linebacker, and in the secondary. A high-level quarterback could really pick them apart.

The Steelers may no longer have Antonio Brown as their No. 1 receiver, but regardless, they added intriguing talent in Eric Ebron and Chase Claypool in the NFL offseason. Let’s not forget, JuJu Smith-Schuster and James Conner have proven success with Roethlisberger in the lineup, too.

It’s going to be difficult for the Giants to be able to match up with the Steelers and Roethlisberger will be able to take advantage. He could end up exceeding 350 yards with 4 touchdowns if he manages to find a rhythm early.
