With future first-ballot Hall of Famer Ben Roethlisberger just months away from entering his 18th season in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers, I thought it would be a good time to relive some important parts of his career in the black and gold.
Today, I flash back to his first career playoff win, which was his 13th and final win in a row during a magical 2004 rookie season. Of course, I’m talking about a heart-stopping 20-17 overtime win over the New York Jets on January 15, 2005 at Heinz Field that likely sent a number of Steelers fans to the doctor’s the following Monday due to heart palpitations.
