Go ahead, just try to sack Ben Roethlisberger. Opposing pass rushers look like kids climbing on a playground Jungle Gym — with Roethlisberger in the role of the Jungle Gym — trying to get the big fellow down. Pressure from the edges doesn’t seem to make him antsy. Your best chance is trying to disrupt him with pressure up the middle. That’s your cue, Pittsburgh native Aaron Donald. Roethlisberger was out when the teams met in 2011, so this marks the first time he’s played the Rams since 2007.
