The Pittsburgh Steelers were one of the best rushing teams in the NFL last season. Part of the reason that was so successful is that the Steelers are one of the best deep-ball offenses in the league. The latest proof of that was this graphic presented by Pro Football Focus illustrates how dangerous Antonio Brown is on deep routes.

His success is made even more impressive when you consider he is only 5-foot-10. He beats defenses with razor-sharp routes and some of the best hands in the league.

But if Brown is that good on deep routes, what does that say about his quarterback? Pro Football Focus has you covered on that as well and the bottom line is Ben Roethlisberger is one of the deep-throwing quarterbacks in the league and the tandem might be the best in the NFL.

While he hasn't led the league, Ben Roethlisberger is the only QB with 1,000+ deep passing yards in each of the last three seasons. pic.twitter.com/3bAci6Gyk2 — Pro Football Focus (@PFF) May 27, 2017

It will be interesting to see how the return of Martavis Bryant changes this. He’s the standard when it comes to a deep threat. Elite length and track speed make him a matchup nightmare. He and Brown are going to make sure no safety in the NFL can take a play off when these two are on the field.
