The Pittsburgh Steelers have chosen to rest Ben Roethlisberger in Week 17, but here’s why he could get a helmet against the Browns… just in case.
After a dismal four-game stretch that saw the Steelers failing to score at least 20 points in a single contest, fans were no doubt glad to see Pittsburgh rally back and defeat the Indianapolis Colts to lock up the division. Though Mike Tomlin’s team has already won the AFC North, they may have something more to play for.
Tomlin declared early this week that Mason Rudolph would start against the Cleveland Browns this week as Ben Roethlisberger would receive a week of rest before the playoffs.
