Ben Roethlisberger on Playing Against Chiefs: ‘We Probably Aren't Supposed to be Here’

Ben Roethlisberger has played in his fair share of NFL postseason football during his 18-year career. After defeating Cleveland on Jan. 3 to dash the Browns‘ playoff hopes and defeating the Ravens on Sunday to secure a playoff berth, Roethlisberger and the Steelers (9-7-1) have a tough matchup against the Chiefs.

Roethlisberger, who many believe will retire when the 2021 season is complete, will make his 23rd career postseason start against Kansas City on Sunday, tying Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Montana for the fourth-most by a quarterback in NFL history. However, the six-time Pro Bowler shared a realistic approach with reporters on Wednesday on Pittsburgh's chances of making a playoff run heading into its wild-card matchup.
