Steelers need vintage Roethlisberger road performance against Patriots

There really is a simple way for the Steelers to upset the New England Patriots Sunday in the AFC championship in Foxborough, Mass.

The answer: Ben Roethlisberger.

The Steelers have made their way through two playoff victories on the strength of unprecedented running by Le’Veon Bell, who set franchise postseason rushing records of 167 yards and 170 the past two games. While they have gotten some of the best performances from Bell, they have not from Roethlisberger. He has thrown two touchdown passes and three interceptions this postseason and could not get them into the end zone in Kansas City.
