When Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger went down in the second quarter of Monday night’s game and his leg bent in a way that legs shouldn’t bend, he thought what everyone watching the game though.
“I thought my leg was broken, honestly,” Roethlisberger said after Thursday night’s game, according to Scott Brown of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “One of the most painful things I’ve ever felt. I didn’t want to feel that my foot was outside of my leg.”
Even though he was determined to return after halftime, Roethlisberger wasn’t sure how long he could continue. “The plan on my part was basically to give it one or two more plays and see how I could do it,” Roethlisberger said. “It wasn’t for any other reason than to be out there for my guys.”
An MRI on Friday will reveal the extent of the injury. And the injury affected him during the third and fourth quarters of the game.
“I really couldn’t drop back to pass and really couldn’t step into my throws,” Roethlisberger said. “They did such a phenomenal job of kind of keeping me clean. That was my intention of coming back. I wanted to be there for the guys and let them know I’m going to fight for them.”

----------------------------------------------
After the second sexual assault allegation, Ben talked about his need to step up and be a better leader, both on and off the field. I argued at the time that it probably wouldn't happen ... that you can't just decide to be a good leader ... either you are or you aren't. I'm glad I was wrong. _________________  If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |

| This man is beginning to remind me of Michael Myers from the "Halloween" movies. You can shoot him, stab him, set him on fire, hit him with a car, or whatever.... but he just keeps coming!  I love it!  _________________  -"I stand corrected... But I absolutely and wholeheartedly fart in the general direction of almost every other thing you have posted to this point."- | |

That's just jealousy. I'm sure that once you hit puberty, you will be able to grow facial hair too. _________________ Wallace108: Jon, how the hell do you expect any of us to ever follow your posts?

Like Robocop he just doesn't quit. Do you guys remember early on in his career someone called him a drama queen saying he acted like he was hurt a lot. I guess his acting ability is diminishing as his toughness grows.
