You can take Big Ben out of Pittsburgh, but you can never take Pittsburgh out of Big Ben.
SteelersLegendary QB Ben Roethlisberger had his eyes on the team’s Week 10 game against the Washington Commanders, even sharing his live reaction to Russell Wilson’s tough count that resulted in a game-winning neutral zone infraction penalty .
With 1:02 left, Pittsburgh led 28-27 but faced a critical fourth-and-1 situation. A turnover could have sealed their fate, but Wilson took advantage of the moment with an impressive count and pace. The move brought Commanders DT Johnny Newton into the neutral zone, giving the Steelers a first down and sealing the victory.
Roethlisberger had an incredible and hilarious reaction to what unfolded on his podcast: Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger.
Big Ben jumping out of his seat with excitement is exactly how most Steelers fans, myself included, reacted to the end of the contest. In truth, Newton only had one job to do, but no one in Steel City is complaining about his lack of composure to end the game in favor of the Black and Gold.
