PITTSBURGH -- If fissures are forming among the Pittsburgh Steelers after a disappointing 3-3 start and a deflating loss in Cleveland, they aren't showing it when it comes to their franchise quarterback.

Ben Roethlisberger had several opportunities to take shots at the play calling and maligned offensive coordinator Todd Haley during Roethlisberger's weekly media scrum.

Roethlisberger instead continued to put the blame on the players for the lack of production when the Steelers' get close to the end zone.

"As players, we need to execute what's called," Roethlisberger said on Wednesday.

The Steelers are fourth in the NFL in total yards but just 23rd in scoring largely because they are next to last in offense inside the 20-yard line.

The Steelers have managed touchdowns just 36.8 percent of the time in the red zone.

"There's no time to panic," Roethlisberger said. "I think you guys are all waiting for us to panic and stuff. We're not panicking. We're just going to make sure we execute and make sure we make the plays when they are there."

When asked if the Steelers are getting too complicated with the different formations they are using, Roethlisberger said, "I don't think so. I think we've had less looks this year than we've had with coordinators past. So I don't think that's an issue. I just think we as players need to execute better."

That is not something that the Steelers fans who wanted Haley fired by now want to hear. But Roethlisberger has remained steadfast in his public stance that he needs to play better after two lackluster performances.

Roethlisberger and wide receiver Markus Wheaton watched film of the 31-10 loss to the Browns together on Wednesday morning, with the quarterback going over all 11 of the passes he threw to the second-year wide receiver.

Roethlisberger said that session reflected how the Steelers are committed to staying together on offense despite the disconnect between the yards they have piled up and the points they have scored.

And, Roethlisberger said, his working relationship with Haley -- which has alternately been a source of speculation and fascination -- is fine. Haley replaced Bruce Arians as offensive coordinator in 2012.

"I don't think that's an issue at all," Roethlisberger said.
