Mike Tomlin says he expects Ben Roethlisberger to play next week
- 9 years ago
The Landry Jones Bandwagon crashed into the station Sunday at Arrowhead Field in Kansas City.
The wreckage can be rebuilt quickly, if Mike Tomlin's expectations are met.
The Steelers coach said Sunday after his team's 23-13 loss to the Chiefs he expects Ben Roethlisberger's career-long four-game absence to end.
He injured his knee in the Steelers' win over the Rams in Week 2, and Pittsburgh managed to win two of their next four games without him.
Roethlisberger's return was anticipated, and now, sitting at 4-3 on the season and facing the 6-0 Bengals, it's much needed.
A win by the Bengals gives them a 3.5 game lead on the Steelers, who would have eight games to catch them.
The loss is also the team's third within the AFC, and conference record is a key factor in tiebreaking procedures outside the division for the playoffs.
