The Pittsburgh Steelers obviously won’t have quarterback Ben Roethlisberger Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns and considering how he’s played against the team’s AFC North division foe throughout his career, and especially in their home stadium, you must know he hates missing this contest. He confirmed as much on Tuesday.
“AFC North football is always fun,” Roethlisberger said, according to Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “Cleveland. A short week. I’m jealous of the guys going over there.”
While Roethlisberger won’t be on the field playing Thursday night for the Steelers, you can bet he’ll be on the sideline during that contest attempting to help young quarterback Mason Rudolph get through his first career start against the Browns.
