8. Pittsburgh Steelers (7)

It didn’t take long for Ben Roethlisberger to show he’s ready to go for the Pittsburgh Steelers after completing 12 of 17 passes for 148 yards with two touchdowns against the Saints. What’s even more exciting is Antonio Brown looks to pick up right where he left off last year after catching all four passes thrown his way for 87 yards with one touchdown in the win.

Expectations are high for the Steelers heading into the 2016 season as many believe this offense has the potential to set numerous records and rightfully so when looking at all of their dangerous weapons. As long as Roethlisberger and Brown remain healthy, it’s going to be tough for any defense to contain Pittsburgh’s offense as they should easily be considered one of the top teams in the AFC.

While Big Ben’s performance was the main highlight from this game, the Steelers have to feel better about their quarterback situation after Landry Jones bounced back from a four-interception performance by throwing for 206 yards with one touchdown.
