When last seen leaving Heinz Field late Sunday afternoon, Ben Roethlisberger was carrying his beaming, giggling daughter, Baylee, 3, on his shoulders. It was clear she still loved him. Steelers football being what it is and so significant to so many, it’s fairly safe to say she was the only one in Pittsburgh and around Steelers Nation who still loved him on a day when he threw a career-worst five interceptions in a 30-9 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“He’s not playing well,” Mike Tomlin said of Roethlisberger, perhaps for the first time in their 10-plus seasons together.
