Ben Roethlisberger celebrated with a Raiders helmet after Steelers clinched

Ben Roethlisberger's career could've ended Sunday night in the most bizarre way possible, but Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson saved the day for the Pittsburgh Steelers by hitting a 40-yard field goal. The kick gave Las Vegas the win and pushed the Steelers into the playoffs.

Roethlisberger, 39, evidently watched it all go down (on delay) while on a FaceTime with musical artists Bart Millard and Toby Mac. (There's no audio on the clip)

Roethlisberger was so happy about Carlson's season-saving kick that he even put on a Raiders helmet -- which appeared to have some autographs -- to celebrate.

The Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers played a wild back and forth game Sunday night that went into overtime. The two teams would've taken the final two wild card berths in the AFC with a tie, but instead the Raiders booted the Chargers from the playoffs with the field goal.
