The start of the Ben Roethlisberger era coincided with one heck of a time getting there. Appearing on CBS Sports Sunday morning, former head coach Bill Cowher said getting to Miami for Roethlisberger’s first career start was the most miserable experience he’s ever had due to Hurricane Jeanne?

“The lights were not that night,” Cowher said on Sunday morning’s That Other Pregame Show. “I had to hand out flashlights that we got from a local place. And so we were having meetings with flashlights.”

A Category Three hurricane at its peak, Jeanne was the latest in a highly active and destructive hurricane season.
