Ben Roethlisberger critiques Steelers O-line performance despite wins
Summary

Former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger assessed Pittsburgh's offensive line following a strong showing against the Bengals. He noted the team's recent success was aided by Cincinnati's low blitz rate, which allowed quarterback Aaron Rodgers ample time in the pocket. Roethlisberger cautioned that the O-line might face tougher challenges ahead, particularly against teams like Cleveland and Baltimore. He praised center Zach Frazier and rookie tackle Max Iheanachor for their efforts, but underscored the need for readiness against stiffer defenses in future games.
