Steelers' Offensive Surge Makes Roethlisberger MVP Candidate

On fourth-and-two with two minutes left in the game and the ball at the Ravens 33 yard-line, the Steelers were up 36-23, but Pittsburgh still went for it. The result: a 33-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to tight end Matt Spaeth, which increased the Steelers' lead to 43-23 and gave Roethlisberger his second consecutive game of six passing touchdowns, creating a new record of 12 touchdown passes in two straight NFL games.

Roethlisberger has catapulted the Steelers back into the status of contenders in the AFC. The Steelers are currently on a three-game winning streak during which they beat all AFC foes. On the current win streak, Roethlisberger has amassed 14 of his 22 passing touchdowns he has thrown this season. Also during that stretch of three games, the Pittsburgh quarterback completed 74 percent of his passes and totaled 1,127 passing yards. Moreover, the Steelers scored 124 points in those three games.

It is astonishing that the current high-scoring Steelers are the same team that was defeated by the Buccaneers and pummeled by the Browns. Through the first six games of the season, the Steelers put together a mediocre 3-3 record. The Steelers offense was the team's biggest disappointment over the first six games of the season. The Steelers defense was expected to be mediocre, not the offense. The talent on offense was there, but the offense could not execute — especially in the redzone.

The turnaround on offense is the catalyst of the team's recent success. What has changed over the past three weeks: receivers besides Antonio Brown are making plays. Rookie Wide receiver Martavis Bryant caught five touchdowns in the first three games of his NFL career. The reemergence of wide out Markus Wheaton has been a good effect. Wheaton caught two touchdowns in the two previous games — one of which went for 47 yards.

Finally, in his 11th season of his career, Roethlisberger has the weapons around him to add an MVP award to his trophy case. He has one of the best wide receivers in the game in Brown, a good No.2 wideout who can run a multitude of routes in Wheaton, Bryant who is 6-4 and makes plays in the redzone, Heath Miller who is a reliable tight end, and Le'Veon Bell who can make plays on the ground and through the air.

The Steelers boast the best offense in the league over the course of the past three weeks. The Steelers are not going to score 40 or 50 points each week. However, offensive failures like the the games against Jacksonville and Cleveland — games in which the offense failed to score 20 points — are unacceptable from now on.

If the Steelers are going to be win the AFC North or clinch a playoff spot, the offense must perform to its peak ability, and Roehtlisberger must continue his MVP-quality. This is not a normal Steelers team; the defense will not hold down the fort if the offense plays poorly. The offense has to perform well every week if the Steelers are going to win football games.

The Steelers have the 1-8 New York Jets next up on the schedule. Roethlisberger and the offense should continue to play remarkably well.

College Football: The Five Best Offensive Lines In 2014

One major difference between the good teams and the elite teams in college football today is the play of the Offensive Line.  The Offensive Line is not a position that yields much glory, and is one of the toughest in football due to the major physical contact being made on every play.  In the past, Offensive Lineman have been stereotyped that they are big and slow, which could not be further from the truth.  The college game has changed this mindset as Offensive Lineman have to be more nimble on their feet due to changes in the offensive schemes, and have to be intelligent and quick witted to be able to change their assignments on the fly when the Quarterback changes the play.  When a team has an elite Offensive Line, you see these teams have the ability to jump to that next level of competition and challenge for a national title.

Here are the projected five best Offensive Lines in College Football for the 2014 season.

5 Offensive Linemen The Dolphins Need To Target

If you do not think the offensive line will be the biggest need addressed in both free agency and the NFL Draft for the Miami Dolphins, guess again.
After this past season and the fiasco at the position both on and off the field, it is possible that team head coach Joe Philbin and general manager Jeff Ireland will receive an edict from management stating the issue might be fixed or heads could roll.
This is no joke as the offensive line was he biggest problem on the field - leading to a stagnant running game and quarterback Ryan Tannehill being the most sacked quarterback in the league this season. Opposing defenses salivated at the idea of rushing the passer when they saw Miami was next up on the schedule.
The only position that is not in question is center, but if the team takes a look at Alex Mack, could that mean Mike Pouncey could move to guard, where he worked for some time in the preseason?
Here is a look at five players the Dolphins should keep on their radar.
Taylor Lewan
The massive tackle from Michigan could be available when the Dolphins make their pick at No. 19.

The Dolphins let Jake Long walk in free agency last season. The team cannot make the same mistake and let another Michigan alum slip through their fingers. 



Branden Albert
The Dolphins could have had Albert last free agency period, but a deal could not be worked out.

Albert can play both tackle and guard and would provide must needed intensity on this line.

He could replace Tyson Clabo on the roster.


If you seek a high effort, low cost player, then Bradfield might be a steal for this team.

Bradfield was on the right side of the Jaguars' line, replacing Luke Joeckel, who moved to the left side of the line until Joeckel was hurt.

He then moves to the left side of the line and filled in well.

He is the depth you want on this team.

He has some miles on him, but the tackle from Carolina is as solid as they come.

While the Panthers might lock him up immediately, if he tests the market, Miami will be right their in the bidding for him.

There is irony here in that if the Dolphins look to sign him, he could be blocking for Maurice Jones-Drew next season.

There is still plenty of value in Monroe, who could come cheap to the Dolphins if they are a serious player to obtain his services.
