Ben Roethlisberger will play his final regular season game Sunday in Baltimore against the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium regardless of whether the Steelers advance to the playoffs or not.
Win or lose, this will be it.
For Roethlisberger, the irony is not lost on him that this also happens to be where he saw his first NFL action, as well, stepping in for an injured Tommy Maddox early in the third quarter with the Steelers trailing 20-0.
Roethlisberger would go on to throw the first of his 417 career touchdown passes -- a 3-yard flip to Antwaan Randle El -- and interception -- his second pass was picked off by Adalius Thomas -- as the Steelers lost that game, 30-13, their only defeat in the 2004 regular season.
