It's a long article with lots of media embedded so I'm not gonna paste it all here. Just click the link, bitch.
This bit was interesting, though:

Per Pro Football Reference, Roethlisberger had four games this season in which his adjusted yards per attempt was below 5.0. Among quarterbacks who qualified for the postseason, only Eli Manning (four) and Brock Osweiler (six) had that many. (Dak Prescott and Russell Wilson each had two; Aaron Rodgers and Derek Carr had one; Matt Ryan and Tom Brady had none.) And while Football Outsiders had the Steelers’ offense ranked eighth in DVOA, it was 31st in variance—ahead of only the sad-sack Rams, who ranked last in offensive DVOA.

Though the article is heavily stats-based and therefore fairly objective, I find it interesting that the writer is a Steelers fan. Feels like this article might have been inspired by anxiety as much as observation.
