Ben, Ben, Ben. This might be the most attention you’ve received during the actual course of the football season and not just the offseason. For those keeping up on Ben and his ankle and have been thinking about it, you may have already read Kimmy’s post about her thoughts on the matter. She’s on the fence...
Batch Will Start Tomorrow
Looks like the Steelers heard my pleas. Ben Roethlisberger will not play on Saturday, and Charlie Batch will be under center against the St. Louis Rams. The Steelers have likely accepted the fate of a fifth seed, content to play the AFC West champion on wildcard weekend. In the meantime, Ben Roethlisberger can work on getting healthy.

Thursday Night Injury Report: Rams at Steelers
The Steelers Injury list is relatively short this week. They are heading into week 16 pretty healthy. Minus Ben Roethlisberger’s status up in the air this team is pretty well set for who is in and out. LaMarr Woodley returned to practice. I will have to tell April to calm down. Woodley could not practice a day after a game. Rest the hamstring. Rest. Here is...
Steelers LB LaMarr Woodley Unlikely To Play Vs Rams
Steelers LB LaMarr Woodley, who returned from a hamstring injury and played more than 40 plays against the 49ers, probably wont play again against the Rams. Woodley did not aggravate his injury, but he came out of the game when his hamstring became fatigued and unstable. The team wants to be sure he doesnt have another setback, especially in a short week after a Monday night...
Take a seat Ben, Chuck’s got this one
All the Steelers had to do was beat the 49ers and the AFC North would’ve pretty much been theirs to lose. They lost and now they’re praying for a Festivus miracle.
Either way, with the Rams and Browns the only teams left on their schedule, the Steelers could throw Tommy Maddox under center and could still cover the spread.
With Ben Rothelisberger’s high ankle sprain...
If Charlie Batch Can’t Win, Why Does He Exist?
I’m going to wade into Steelers territory for just a moment. I think the title says it all but let me elaborate. The Steelers started an obviously hurt Ben Roethlisberger against the 49ers in a must win situation. Did Ben look good to anyone? Now we must assume Ben started because he gave the Steelers [...]

The Pittsburgh Steelers will need Ben Roethlisberger healthy in January to make another run to the Super Bowl. But they didn’t need him today to roll over the St. Louis Rams.
