Video: Ben Roethlisberger Tears Up in Heinz Field Finale

Goodbyes are never easy, but Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger bid adieu to Heinz Field in style.

Playing in what is almost certainly his final game in front of his home fans, Roethlisberger guided Pittsburgh to a 26-14 win over the Browns on Monday night. The Steelers jumped out to a 7-0 lead on a five-yard touchdown pass from Roethlisberger to Diontae Johnson, and never looked back from there, maintaining their lead for the rest of the night.

After the clock finally ran out, Roethlisberger was surrounded by teammates for a round of hugs. When it was finally time for his post-game interview, the emotions came out as the 18-year veteran choked back tears while discussing what the night meant to him.
