You’ll never guess what Ben Roethlisberger remembers about his first NFL start 12 years ago in Miami in the remnants of Hurricane Jeanne.
A flashlight.
“I remember being in the hotel losing power and having our night-before-the-game meeting with flashlights. They went out and bought a bunch of cheap plastic flashlights. I’ll never forget that.”
The memory clearly tickled Roethlisberger.
“I still have my flashlight. I might bring it with me this weekend for old time’s sake.”
The Steelers play Sunday in Miami against the Dolphins. The weather and field conditions should be much better than in 2004.
