Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback “Big” Ben Roethlisberger has taken his final snap at home after 18 years in the league. Beginning his career in 2004, he’s been the starting quarterback for the Steelers since, and amassed a total of 63,844 yards, 417 touchdowns with 210 interceptions, and a career QB rating of 93.6.
January 3rd, Monday Night Football, marked his last home game in the NFL, and just when everyone thought he had taken his last snap, the Steelers got the ball with 10 seconds left. Letting Roethlisberger take one final knee is a poetic exit from football.
