Pittsburgh may be in a state of panic. No, not because of anything election related, but because the Steelers are 4-4 after a loss to the hated Baltimore Ravens.

While fans in the Steel City may be concerned about the preseason favorites, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger isn't sweating it.

"I could do the Aaron Rodgers 'Relax,' but I'm just going to say, it's halftime," Roethlisberger said on 93.7 The Fan, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

"We're at halftime, and we've had a lot of great second halves in my career and Pittsburgh Steelers' season history. ... It's not over yet, and I'm excited for the second half of the season."

Rodgers delivered his message to Green Bay Packers fans in 2014 after the team started the season 1-2. Rodgers' words proved prescient as the team finished 12-4 and reached the NFC Championship game.

The Steelers face the NFC-leading Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
