Former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger caught a lot of flak a week ago for coming out on his podcast after Pittsburgh lost to the New England Patriots at home, questioning if his former team had lost the Steeler Way teams in the past had preached in the locker room and on the football field. Roethlisberger mentioned that he heard some of the leaders in the locker room stating some players are in it just for themselves rather than the team, going against the culture that Pittsburgh had established as one of the league’s best.
Several have jumped on Roethlisberger’s statement especially after the team’s third-consecutive loss to the Indianapolis Colts last Saturday, questioning how a team with as much pride and tradition as the Pittsburgh Steelers have gotten to this point.
