Without Roethlisberger, the Steelers will feature Le’Veon Bell more than ever (Getty).
The Pittsburgh Steelers are down, but not out.
It’s a big blow when your quarterback goes down, even if he hasn’t won two Super Bowls. In the case of Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers will proceed without him for the next 4-6 weeks, turning to Michael Vick to lead the offense.
Down, but not out.
Before the injury, Ben and the Steelers looked like the best offense in the NFL outside Foxboro. Even without stud back Le’Veon Bell; the Steelers racked up 64 points through two weeks before losing Roethlisberger. Now they head home, where a division rival desperate for a win awaits them.
The Ravens have never started 0-3 in franchise history. Until now. Having lost their first three games each by a single score, Baltimore is looking to get back on the right track at Heinz Field Thursday.
Down, but not out.
