Ben Roethlisberger: Steelers’ O-Line, Coaching Staff Were ‘Underprepared’ For 2021 Playoff Loss Against Chiefs

Ben Roethlisberger put together a Hall of Fame career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. For 18 seasons, he was their starting quarterback, helping them win two Super Bowls. Unfortunately, Roethlisberger’s career didn’t get a fairytale ending. In his final season, 2021, the Steelers made the playoffs but got crushed by the Kansas City Chiefs in the first round. Recently, Roethlisberger shared his thoughts on why the Steelers lost that game.

“Offensively, we just couldn’t do much, for whatever reason,” Roethlisberger said Tuesday on his Footbahlin’ with Ben Roethlisberger podcast. “I don’t know if we were overwhelmed going into it or what the deal was… I just remember that we struggled early to get going, and they just stayed on the field.
