Steelers Make Two Changes to Starting Lineup | Noah Strackbein, All Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially named two players their starters after sending them out with the first team in the last several weeks. On their Week 15 depth chart, nose tackle Keeanu Benton has surpassed Montravius Adams, and kick returner Godwin Igwebuike is now officially the starter over Anthony McFarland.
Benton replaced Adams five weeks ago after the veteran suffered an ankle injury. Despite returning last week and remaining in the starting lineup, Benton seemingly kept his starting job and is now officially the team’s starter for the first time this season.
Ben Roethlisberger challenges Steelers offensive leaders to step up, fears team’s rich tradition ‘is done’ | Bryan DeArdo, CBS Sports
Pittsburgh’s former quarterback and future Hall of Fame inductee doesn’t think that the team’s traditions have been passed down to current members of the offense, who are part of a unit that has been under siege seemingly all season. Roethlisberger, who retired after the 2021 season, said the team’s traditions were not passed down to the offense’s new leaders when he left the way they were given to him when Jerome Bettis and others left the locker room early in his career.
“Maybe the tradition of the Pittsburgh Steelers is done,” Roethlisberger said on the latest edition of his podcast. “Maybe it needs to be formed a new kind of way. I don’t know.”
Specifically, Roethlisberger wants someone on the offense to carry on the Steelers tradition.
