Former Steelers QB frustrated by botched plays in Week 15 loss

Ben Roethlisberger voices his frustrations over the Steelers’ Week 15 loss to the Eagles, pointing to key moments that sealed their fate.

While watching the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 15 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, one legendary Steelers quarterback shared the disappointment felt by much of the Black and Gold faithful.

Former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger, while discussing Pittsburgh’s loss in Week 15 with co-host Spencer Te’o on his podcast, Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger, revealed the specific plays he deemed game “killers.”

Big Ben expressed frustrations with areas of the Steelers’ offense that fans have collectively agreed need improvement: finding a reliable WR2 and avoiding slow starts in the first half.

Roethlisberger highlighted a few plays in particular that he believed were “killers” for any hope of a late-game comeback against the Eagles in Week 15: “Najee fumbling the toss sweep—that was a killer.” He then pointed to what he argued was an even greater misstep: “I think one of the killers was Coach T punting on like the 47ish [yard line]. They never got the ball back.”

While the Pittsburgh Steelers’ overall performance was rough in Week 15, is Roethlisberger correct in his analysis that Harris and head coach Mike Tomlin’s “killer” plays sealed the Black and Gold’s loss?

Former Steelers QB trolls Browns in hilarious fashion

Ben Roethlisberger keeps his rivalry with Cleveland alive, confidently predicting a Steelers victory over the Browns in Week 12.

Even in his retirement, former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger continues to show Cleveland why he still owns the Browns. On his podcast, Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger, his co-host Spencer Te’o asked the legendary Pittsburgh QB to share his thoughts on the Browns-Saints Week 11 results.

Roethlisberger quickly gave credit to Browns QB Jameis Winston for nearly throwing for 400 yards but immediately shifted to roasting the Cleveland defense: “That sounds great, but I think the Browns’ defense gave up 200-plus, almost 300 yards rushing, made Taysom Hill look like Bo Jackson.”

Big Ben continued his roast of Cleveland, stating that the NFL might as well just give the Steelers the win automatically before their Week 12 matchup with the Browns on Thursday Night Football. Roethlisberger stated, “We don’t even need to play the game Thursday, really, to be honest.”

In what is shaping up to be a complete mismatch, Roethlisberger has the utmost confidence in his 8-2 Pittsburgh Steelers to defeat the 2-8 Cleveland Browns in this week’s Thursday Night Football on November 21 at 8:15 PM EST.

Chris Boswell discusses confident kicking with Ben Roethlisberger

Steelers’ K Chris Boswell discussed his growth and confidence as a kicker on Ben Roethlisberger’s podcast, sharing insights from his career.

Chris Boswell, AKA the Wizard of Boz, is regarded as one of the greatest kickers the NFL has ever seen. While Boswell is seemingly automatic and comfortable attempting any kick from any distance, it wasn’t always this way for the Pittsburgh Steelers star.

Making an appearance on the latest episode of Ben Roethlisberger’s podcast, Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger, co-host Spencer Te’o asked Boswell when kicking became automatic.

Boswell humbly stated, “I think, you know, the more years I put into it, kinda, the more confidence I put in myself in that situation. It definitely didn’t start like that. I definitely worried about holds, worried about snaps, worried about wind, stuff like that. And then I’ve just gotten to the point where I don’t even think about anything anymore.”

While Boswell’s hard work and dedication speak for themselves, Big Ben added that Boswell always holds himself accountable, stating, “I’ve never heard this guy make an excuse.”

Throughout his storied career in Pittsburgh, Boswell’s performance has made him a fan favorite in the Steel City, and his wise words on growth and confidence speak volumes about his character as a whole.
