Ben Rothlesberger He was crying during the last moments of Steelers’48 -37 playoff loss from Wilde’s card to Brown. Given that he lost the Super Bowl and many other big post-season games, Rothlesberger tears with him and Morcis Bouncy The slowdown on the field after his team-mates headed to the locker room led to post-match questions about his future with the Steelers.

Rothlisberger, who made four hits and four interceptions in Sunday night’s loss, has not stated definitively whether or not he will play again next season. He has said he would want to return to Pittsburgh if he played in the 18th NFL season.

„It’s going to start between me and God,” said Roethlisberger, whose knock-out record dropped to 13-9 after Sunday’s loss. „Lots of prayers. A lot of talking to my family. I still have a year ahead of me. I hope the Steelers will want to come back if that’s the way we’re on.”

When asked about the future of Rothlisberger and Bouncey (who was also signed during the 2021 season), Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said the team would begin the roster evaluation process sometime soon. Tomlin said he believed Roethlisberger could play at a high level when asked during his post-match press conference.

Roethlisberger has had a mostly successful 2020 season. After major elbow surgery wiped out most of the 2019 season, Roethlisberger’s name was in the middle of an NFL MVP conversation after helping Steelers win his first 11 matches. Things are starting to fizzle out for Big Ben and the Stellars after their hot start. Pittsburgh receivers began dropping the passes. Their ongoing match slipped to 32nd in the league. Questions began to arise regarding Roethlisberger’s health. The Steelers’ defense, NFL’s best player in the first half of the season, lost its first player – the full-back Bud Dupre – The knee injury season ended in week 12. Then they lost Joe Haden (Who was on the COVID-19 list) before losing Sunday night to former Hadden Team.

Big Ben finished the 2020 regular season with 33 touchdowns (the second highest total in his career) and 10 interceptions (his lowest total since 2014). In a Sunday night loss, he completed a record 47 assists for 501 yards, the second highest mark in post-season history. And while it’s still clear he can still come up with big numbers, the blurry end of his team will undoubtedly lead to some changes within the Steelers’ organization. The Steelers has several notable free agents including Dupree, Jojo Smith ShusterAnd and James Conner.

„It’s totally possible,” said defense captain Cam Hayward when asked about the overall changes this season. Via Joe Rutter from Tribune Review. „I could leave next year. I don’t know what to expect. At the very least, we are in uncharted territory. Changes must be made.”
