The Pittsburgh Steelers were dealt about as bad a hand as you can get during the course of ordinary events in football when they learned that they would be without their franchise quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, for the remainder of the 2019 season. He was placed on the Reserve/Injured List and will have surgery on his elbow at some point in the near future, with an eye toward returning in 2020.
But there are still 14 games—hopefully more—to be played before the 2019 season is over, and the Steelers still have a lot of talent to work with.
