Brian Billick On Ben Roethlisberger’s 2004 Debut Vs Ravens: ‘I Would Have Said Nobody Touch Maddox’ If We’d Known How Good He Was

That we can scoff and stamp about in disappointment that the Pittsburgh Steeler won only two Super Bowls with Ben Roethlisberger at quarterback is an immense privilege. The list of quarterbacks who have won two or more in their entire careers is a fairly short one, and Pittsburgh fans get to boast of two.

And former Baltimore Ravens head coach Brian Billick got a front-row seat for the beginning of Roethlisberger’s journey. As you might recall, it was his team that forced him onto the field for the first time in a regular season game in week two of 2004 when the Ravens knocked starter Tommy Maddox out of the game.
