The Steelers entered the 2015 playoffs as one of the hottest teams in the league, but their season ended in disappointment after a divisional-round loss to the Broncos. A big reason for the success of the team was the offense, which finished the season with the fifth-highest PFF grade. Enough has changed over the offseason to believe the offense should be even better in 2016.

Here are four reasons why Pittsburgh’s offense could finish the 2016 season with the league’s top grade.

1. Ben Roethlisberger is in the prime of his career.

Throughout his career, Ben Roethlisberger has constantly been a top-10 quarterback, but he has gotten even better in recent years. In 2015, he had a big-time throw on 8.9 percent of his pass attempts. That isn’t just the best rate for Roethlisberger in his career, but also the best rate for any quarterback in a season over the past four years. This was, in part, because he was the most accurate quarterback on deep passes, with an accuracy percentage of 50.7. Deep passing accuracy is the area where Roethlisberger has improved the most, and led him to be our top quarterback by PFF grade in 2015 (92.7). To have a great offense, you need a great quarterback, and the Steelers have this covered.
