Ben: I gotta make plays

HOUSTON _ Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger limped out of Reliant Stadium, literally and figuratively, after absorbing a pounding from the Texans.
It remains to be seen if Roethlisberger will be able to limp onto Heinz Field’s playing surface this coming Sunday against Tennessee.
He had a walking boot applied to his left foot prior to meeting the media following the 17-10 loss suffered by the Steelers last Sunday. And he needed crutches to navigate the aisle upon boarding the team plane for the charter flight back to Pittsburgh.
Further souring his mood was the sting of “disappointment, obviously, from losing the game,” and “feeling like I could have done more.
“It was a little bit my fault that we didn’t play better,” Roethlisberger concluded.
His first pass, which wasn’t thrown until 3:10 remained in the first quarter, went for 22 yards to wide receiver Mike Wallace, but 15 of those came back after Wallace was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Roethlisberger’s last attempt, a desperation heave for wide receiver Antonio Brown with 19 seconds remaining, was intercepted by Texans cornerback Jason Allen at the Houston 11-yard line.
