By Ben Roethlisberger looks to make one final playoff push as his career approaches its swansong. The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Pittsburgh Steelers in a first-round matchup that many have already marked off as nothing more than a speedbump for the Chiefs, a team looking to return to the Superbowl for the third consecutive time. The Pittsburgh Steelers faithful would love nothing more than to see them upset and have one final iconic moment with their star quarterback.
If anyone knows about playoff magic and overcoming the odds it is Big Ben. His iconic throw to Santonio Holmes in the late stages of Super Bowl XLIII still stands as one of the greatest playoff moments in NFL history. With the odds stacked against them and time winding down, Ben made it happen and led his team to victory.
Father time may wind the clock back and give us a final iconic moment for the future Hall-of-Famer. He certainly wouldn’t surprise many long-time viewers with such a performance in spite of nonstop retirement rumors throughout the 2021-22 season.
Despite doubts about his health to begin the year, he managed to play in all 16 games and matched many of his career averages despite the team’s 9-7 record. In what may be his final playoff appearance Ben Roethlisberger knows better than most that it is truly a win or go home situation and his play should reflect this reality.
With Pittsburgh currently listed on Tipico Sportsbook at +570 odds, as in bet $100 to earn $570 with a Pittsburgh win, a win would be one of the greatest playoff upsets of all time and immediately be cemented in history as another feather in a career capped by a lofty few already. Win or lose, we are possibly witnessing the last dance of one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever do it. Tune in at 8:15 pm Sunday to see what happens.
