LATROBE, Pa. -- The Steelers' offensive benchmark for 2015: 30 points per game.

That goal is coming directly from Todd Haley.

Pro Bowl quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said Monday the Steelers are looking to increase last year's scoring average of 27.3 points per game by at least three points.

"That's what our offensive coordinator set out for us, that's what we're going to try to do," Roethlisberger said of the 30-point mark.

Roethlisberger had told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette last week that the Steelers "want to be able to put 30 points on the board in every game."

In 2014, Pittsburgh showcased one of the league's best offenses with 6,577 total yards, second to the Saints. Roethlisberger produced 4,952 passing yards and 32 touchdowns in a career statistical year. Yet the Steelers ranked seventh in points per game and 19th in red zone efficiency at 51.7 percent. Haley remembered at least 10 trips to the red zone or close to it that yielded zero points.

"I think that's an area of emphasis for us," Haley said.

Luckily for the offense, Roethlisberger believes he has the best supporting cast of his 12-year career.

During Monday's practice session, Antonio Brown made two impressive catches on well-thrown deep corner routes by Roethlisberger, including a one-handed grab that sparked the crowd at Saint Vincent College. Le'Veon Bell looks noticeably explosive, and Martavis Bryant is expected to grow into his role as the No. 2 receiver. The offensive line wants to have a top-10 rushing offense.

"We feel we can be as good as we want to be," Roethlisberger said. "Obviously we're going to have teams gunning for us, trying to stop Antonio Brown, trying to stop Le'Veon [Bell], things like that. We want to be the best so we're going to try to get there."
