Bruce Arians still has plenty of love for Ben Roethlisberger. Offensive coordinator and quarterback for several seasons and sharing the Pittsburgh Steelers’ sideline for many more, Arians credits Roethlisberger for playing his best football when the moments mattered most. So much so that if Arians ever needed a game-winning drive and could pick any quarterback to do it, it’d be Roethlisberger. Sorry, Tom Brady.
“In big games, I’d take him over all of them,” Arians said appearing on the Pat McAfee Show Monday, revealed as a now-weekly guest on his show.
Arians coached in Pittsburgh from 2004-2011 and served as Roethlisberger’s offensive coordinator for his final five seasons.
