Over the course of his storied NFL career, future Hall Of Fame quarterback Ben Roethlisberger owns far too many individual accolades to write about here, including two, and almost three, Super Bowl titles. What he also owned is a vice-like grip of dominance over his home state of Ohio, which includes an astonishing 26-2-1 mark versus Cleveland, and a 24-10 mark over the Bengals, the team who just so happens to be the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opening benchmark this Sunday at Paycor Stadium.
Needless to say, if anyone knows how to take care of business against the Bengals, it was #7, and he was vocal about it in the most recent episode on his new podcast, without heaping too much praise on the defending AFC Champs.
