Why would that make any kind of sense whatsoever ? The exact opposite seems truer ! Now that the Steelers have a legitimate chance to be a 1 or 2 seed and a first round bye and home field advantage, they will now sit Big Ben since the the Ravens have lost ? That Makes little sense to me ! Steelers will move from a 1 or 2 seed to a 5 seed and become a Wild Card entry perhaps should they lose tomorrow. Bare in mind the Steelers last 2 games look very winable being agianst Cleveland and Rams. Of course Big Ben will not play if the Steelers think He will endanger his future but certainly the fact that the Ravens lost will do nothing but make tomorrow's game huge for the Steelers and you can bet He will want to go !

Pittsburgh media says hes playing.

Shithead Scheffler says he probably is not.

NFL Network shows him limping off the team bus in a boot! (LMAO........If you know how Roethlisberger plays up his injuries, you would crack up at that video. I'm surprised he didnt come off the bus in a full body cast!)

My guess is that he plays. He loves the hype and attention, especially when he plays hurt.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>49ers beat writers noted that Big Ben was "limping badly" and could "barely walk" while taking the field to try a few short passes in warmups. If not for Roethlisberger's history of playing up injuries, we'd be a lot more concerned that he won't make it through Monday night's game. Regardless, he's going to be without his usual mobility in the pocket.
