With just three games left in the regular season, the Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in the midst of a two-game losing streak after their 25-16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger took the podium after the game and sounds like a guy who feels like the team can perform better but at the same time is very down on himself about his own performance.

“We lost two,” said Roethlisberger. “We’re facing some adversity. But we’re not hitting the panic button. We need to play better on offense. I need to play better. The way we are playing right now is unacceptable.”

This sounds like a guy who understands this team can turn things around heading into the playoffs. But when ESPN reporter Brooke Pryor dug a little deeper with Roethlisberger about his hand in the struggles, he was blunt.

“I’m just not very good, Brooke.”

Roethlisberger even hinted that if he doesn’t think he can help this team win he needs to think about hanging them up. We have heard this before from Roethlisberger but it really just shows how invested he is in this team and how personal he takes these failings even if he isn’t solely to blame.
