Ben Roethlisberger has revealed that the Pittsburgh Steelers will be aiming to score at least 30 points per game in the 2015 NFL season.

The AFC North side averaged 27.2 points in their 16 regular season games last season, which was the seventh-highest in the league.

The quarterback told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: "We want to start fast and we want to be able to put 30 points on the board in every game.

"That group in front of me is as good as any in the league, and as good as any I've ever had. It's great. Then you look at outside receiver. [Antonio Brown] is as good as anybody in this league and arguably one of the greatest that I've played with. Just all around on offense, we have just a special group. It has a chance to be really good.

"There are a lot of young guys, kind of the unknown other than AB. But they have as much potential and talent from top to bottom as we've had here in a long time. To me the sky is the limit for them."

The Steelers won their division for the first time in four years in 2014, but lost to the Baltimore Ravens in the wildcard round of the playoffs.
