During his weekly press conference on Tuesday, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin announced that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will sit out the team’s regular-season finale vs. the Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium this coming Sunday.
Tomlin also said a few other key players may be inactive for the game against Cleveland; in my opinion, the more integral cogs that can sit out in the last game before the playoffs, the better.
What’s more important: The Steelers continuing the momentum they gained with their come-from-behind win over Indianapolis on Sunday or rest for some weary veterans and even youngsters who have had their chains jerked around all season, thanks to other teams and their COVID problems?
