PITTSBURGH -- Ben Roethlisberger finally started to come back down to earth two days after an emotional victory Monday night in what likely was his last game at Heinz Field.
"You don't until today probably," the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback said Wednesday morning. "Tuesday was still pretty special. You get up, and you realize what this week is. It's Baltimore week. It makes it fun."
Roethlisberger, who told reporters last week "all signs" pointed to the 26-14 victory over the Cleveland Browns being his last home game, said he was overwhelmed by the number of people who reached out to share messages with him as he prepares for his likely departure from the organization after 18 years as the Steelers' franchise quarterback.
