One day before the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens were set to face off in one final battle in the Ben Roethlisberger era, a number of past and present Ravens’ greats heaped praise on a quarterback who has won more often than not in the heated AFC North rivalry.
Former linebacker Bart Scott called Roethlisberger Michael Myers and stated that he “hated him,” while defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martingale compared Roethlisberger to “The Terminator,” stating that he never gives up.
Both of those sentiments lived up to the billing on Sunday as Roethlisberger led a go-ahead touchdown drive in the fourth quarter on the road against the Ravens, and then led the Steelers on the game-winning field goal drive in overtime, including converting a 4th and 8 in overtime to Ray-Ray McCloud to help set up Chris Boswell’s game-winning 36-yard field goal with under 2 minutes remaining.
