“We’re gonna be in trouble”: Steelers great Ben Roethlisberger loses confidence in Mike Tomlin and coaching staff as slide continues

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost for the second time in three games after a 31-28 defeat against the Chicago Bears last Sunday. Former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger voiced concern over the team’s recent struggles.

While the Steelers lead the AFC North with a 6-5 record, they have the Baltimore Ravens breathing down their necks in second place with a 6-6 record.

Thanks for the submission!

Ben Roethlisberger, who spent his entire NFL career with the Steelers, winning two Super Bowls, voiced concern over Pittsburgh’s coaching staff and their adjustments.

“Yes, and our halftime adjustments, or lack thereof, We talk about it,” Roethlisberger said. “I feel like if we go into a half up 10 or less like we are gonna be in trouble because I am nervous about our halftime adjustments, or lack thereof, or whatever. Like, we need to be up 20-something at halftime.”

Pittsburgh Steelers buoyed by return of start quarterback Aaron Rodgers for crucial Bills clash

While the Steelers face a tough test against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, they will have veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the lineup after missing last week’s game against the Bears due to a wrist injury.

Rodgers participated in Thursday and Friday’s practice and is expected to start Sunday’s game. While Derrick Harmon and Broderick Jones are out for the game, Joey Porter Jr and DK Metcalf, who sustained minor issues against Chicago, are available for the game.

Veteran Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith, who missed the last two games due to a pectoral injury, is also expected to return against the Bills. It’ll be interesting to see if Rodgers could help the Steelers’ offense past the Bills on his return in Week 13.
