Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger gets wish, ends last game at Heinz Field with win

PITTSBURGH -- Minutes before his final game at Heinz Field kicked off, Ben Roethlisberger faced the Cleveland Browns game captains by himself at the Pittsburgh Steelers' midfield logo Monday night.

Fellow Steelers captains Cam Heyward and Derek Watt would normally flank the quarterback on the walk to the coin toss, but the pair stopped short, letting their quarterback go ahead without them.

When Roethlisberger realized what was happening, he turned around and motioned for them to come with him, but the pair hung back. Roethlisberger continued, until he stood by himself at midfield for the final coin toss at Heinz Field of his 18-year career.
