There’s no doubt that Steelers fans were satisfied when the New England Patriots were defeated by the Tenessee Titans in the playoffs this year, and with an aging Tom Brady, we can finally see light at the end of the tunnel in the AFC.
While it’s easy to draw satisfaction from the possible end of an era in New England, the same thing is happening in Pittsburgh. Ben Roethlisberger turns 38 years old next month, and he hasn’t even been cleared to start throwing tennis balls since his elbow surgery that ended his 2019 season.
There is no doubt that Pittsburgh’s best chance of winning any time soon is going to come with their former Super Bowl-winning quarterback at the helm, and we understand the importance of getting him as much help as possible in this closing window of opportunity.
