Ben Roethlisberger was in just his second season in the NFL when he helped author a storybook ending for one of his most veteran teammates, Jerome Bettis. Having had a reduced role at that point in his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers behind Willie Parker, Bettis got the chance to go out a champion in 2005 in his hometown.
Roethlisberger was asked about having a similar storybook ending to that of John Elway if he were to win a Super Bowl when he appeared on SiriusXM yesterday, but he didn’t appear very interested in that…at least from the sense of calling it a day simply for the fact of winning.
