Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger told reporters Tuesday he failed as a leader during the 2018 season.
"I lacked in leadership," Roethlisberger said. "Because that's my job as the leader of this team, to get us to the playoffs. I'm gonna need to focus and refocus my energy and time on, how can I be a better leader to get us back to the playoffs?"
Roethlisberger's leadership style has taken a hit this offseason due to his falling out with Antonio Brown. The former Steelers wideout has regularly criticized Roethlisberger both before and after his trade to the Oakland Raiders.
