When discussing the Steelers chances of making it to Super Bowl LI, there’s another “seven” that factors in: Ben Roethlisberger.
Roethlisberger turned 34 this past March, and is heading into the back nine of his career (actually, he’s probably approaching the 14th hole at this point). He’s signed for the next four seasons, making it very possible that the 2019 season will be his last. He’ll be 38.
Just to put things into perspective, Terry Bradshaw was 34 years old when his arm literally and figuratively gave out. Ben’s got a reputation as, perhaps, the toughest quarterback in the NFL given his ability to play with pain and injury.
