Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has gotten used to being kept clean. He was among the most abused quarterbacks in the league through the first half of his career, but after learning to protect himself, and having a strong offensive line built around him, the script was completely flipped.
He still knows how to protect himself, but with a novice offensive line now in front of him this season, he’s been taking a beating in the early stages of the 2021 season. These are mostly young guys, who are still learning the etiquette, apparently.
Including helping your quarterback up when he gets knocked down.
