The Pittsburgh Steelers 2018 season came to a close on Sunday and some drama that reportedly happened with wide receiver Antonio Brown during practice last week that led to head coach Mike Tomlin holding him out of the team’s regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals was finally addressed Tuesday morning by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger during his weekly interview on 93.7 The Fan.
First, Roethlisberger was asked if he was surprised that Brown was held out of Sunday’s game against the Bengals.
“He is such an incredible talent and I’ve been blessed to have him as my teammate and truly a good friend, one of my better friends on the team, so Coach [Tomlin] made that decision right before the game,” Roethlisberger said.
