Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is no stranger to the deep-ball interception. The now-retired future Hall of Famer took pride in the label of gunslinger, which he happily applied to himself, and that included taking shots down the field in the hopes of giving his guy a chance to make plays.
And so, while he was not without reservations with what he saw from rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett from Sunday afternoon, he approached his turnovers with a certain level of understanding, and especially so on the ball to Pat Freiermuth, which even Pickett said after the game was a mistake.
