Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger took some shots last weekend at the hands of Jalen Ramsey, just like a lot of quarterbacks around the league did. Ramsey said that Big Ben was decent at best and that is was Antonio Brown that made him look a lot better than he actually was. Ramsey did acknowledge that he was a Hall of Fame quarterback but seemed to question if he should be.

Roethlisberger finally got his chance to respond to Ramsey's comments on Tuesday, and he didn't seem too affected by the comments.

“The awesome thing about this country we live in, everyone's entitled to their opinion,” Roethlisberger said. “I think he's a fantastic football player and I think we play them at some point and they got the best of us last year. So, I guess he has the right to say whatever he wants.”

The Jacksonville Jaguars and the Steelers met twice last year, and the results weren't good for Big Ben either time. During the playoffs, the Steelers lost to the Jaguars 45-42 although that wasn't really Roethlisberger's fault.

During the regular season it the Steelers lost 30-9, and most of that did have to do with Big Ben's play. He threw five interceptions including one to Ramsey, and that performance might be a big reason that he said those comments.

These two teams will meet up again this year on November 18th in Jacksonville, and there is no question that these comments will be a talking point heading into that game.
