Roethlisberger expects to play
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger expects to play in Sunday’s season finale against the rival Cleveland Browns.
The Steelers are hopeful that the Baltimore Ravens fall to the Cincinnati Bengals, meaning a Pittsburgh win would give them the AFC North title and a first-round bye.
However, the team also wants to remain smart with their star quarterback, who was really hobbled by his ankle injury two weeks ago against San Francisco.
The Steelers hope to keep Roethlisberger on the field for just 25-30 snaps, indicating that they are looking for a blowout victory in Cleveland.
The Browns played Pittsburgh very tough in their first meeting, and this news might provide a bit of motivation and bulletin board material for Cleveland.
