Ben Roethlisberger Says Steelers Were ‘Playing Backyard Football’ In 2nd Half: ‘I Don’t Know If We Called Too Many ‘Plays”

Ben Roethlisberger completed four passes on 10 attempts for 24 yards in the first half of today’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, a game in which the Pittsburgh Steelers trailed 17-7 at halftime, and in which those seven points were spotted by a defense that would then give up 17 unanswered.

Barely anything was working in the first half for the Steelers, at least after the early pick six, although James Conner was able to be somewhat effective, rushing for 42 yards on just nine first-half carries in a half in which the Ravens controlled the ball for over 20 minutes.
