Brian Billick: Roethlisberger is 'a drama queen'
Former Baltimore Ravens coach-turned-commentator Brian Billick suggested Thursday that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger may be exaggerating how bad his shoulder injury is.
"There's no one tougher than Ben Roethlisberger by far in the NFL, but he's a drama queen," Billick said Thursday during an appearance on Denver's 104.3 The Fan, per Jason Garcia of FOX Sports.
"He's gonna come out on that field. That arm's gonna be limp. It's going to look like he can't even lift it. Then he's going to crank off a 60-yard bomb to Martavis Bryant. Then he'll carry it back into the huddle, holding it like it's in a sling, and then he'll crank off a 40-yarder to Antonio Brown."
Brown is still dealing with a concussion and has been ruled out of Sunday's AFC divisional-round game against the Denver Broncos, so Roethlisberger will presumably have to find someone else to crank that 40-yarder off to.
Roethlisberger is listed as questionable, but was a full participant at Friday's practice and should be good to go.
