After the Pittsburgh Steelers were blown out by the New England Patriots on Sunday night, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had no interest in talking about Antonio Brown.

A reporter asked Roethlisberger his thoughts on Brown joining the Patriots and it's clear this is a story he doesn't want to talk about anymore.

“Whatever,” Roethlisberger said in dismissing the question via Pro Football Talk.

Roethlisberger has been asked questions about Brown all offseason and the last thing he probably wanted to discuss after getting blown out 33-3 was a player who's not even on the team anymore.

Brown didn't join the Patriots until Saturday, so he officially can't sign with the team until Monday and wasn't allowed to play against his former team.

The Patriots looked good without Brown on Sunday and the wide receiving corps is going to get better when Brown joins the team.

The big question surrounding Brown is will he be happy and just focus on football? Bill Belichick isn't going to put up with the things that he did with Oakland, especially the incident where Brown recorded his conversation with Jon Gruden.

For the Steelers, the question is where do they go from here? All the talk this offseason was about how the team was going to be okay without Le'Veon Bell and Brown but after the game, there are some questions if that's the truth. Some of the young guys need to step up because if the offense continues to struggle, it's going to be a long season for the Steel City.
