If Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is thinking about retiring, he’s not saying. Roethlisberger spoke to the media on Wednesday and made sure everyone understands his focus is on this season.
Roethlisberger says the team needs to make a run and playing good enough football to do that starts with him. Big Ben is working hard to maintain his focus on this season because according to him, that’s the only way a playoff push can happen. This week the Steelers welcome the Tennessee Titans to Pittsburgh with the team’s playoff hopes hanging by a thread.
On the season, Roethlisberger has 3,066 passing yards with 19 passing touchdowns and seven interceptions. Roethlisberger is completing 65.3 percent of his passes and has a 92.1 quarterback rating. This team has plenty of problems right now but Roethlisberger isn’t one of them.
Ben Roethlisberger on pondering end of his career:
"I’m living right here, right now. We’ve got to make a run. We’ve got to play good football, great football. That starts right here with me. I can’t get caught looking at the end because I need to focus on right here, this week."— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) December 15, 2021
