MINNEAPOLIS -- "That's four!"
The words were unmistakable off the lips of Ben Roethlisberger, as was the topic, as was the target.
He'd just been sacked a fourth time, shortly before halftime of what wound up for the Steelers an excruciating 36-28 loss to the Vikings on this Thursday night inside US Bank Stadium, and he'd had enough. Picked himself up off the ground -- that's now standard with this offensive line, by the way -- strode over to the sideline and, in passing the head coach, gave hard eye contact and an equally hard earful to the individual most responsible.
