The Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be taking on the Cleveland Browns on a Monday Night Football contest. This could potentially be the last game of Ben Roethlisberger's career.
It was already a rumor that it was going to be Roethlisberger's final outing, but Art Rooney, the owner of the Steelers, pretty much confirmed it.

Although Roethlisberger has certainly not played as well as he used to in his earlier days, he is still one of the best quarterbacks that the game has seen in the past decade and a half. The Steelers are certainly going to miss him. The leadership that he brings in a locker room isn't going to be easy to replace. The Steelers are going to have to figure out who their next quarterback is going to be.
Pittsburgh has many talented wide receivers so there shouldn't be an issue of trying to find a quarterback that wants to play with these guys. The Steelers also might draft Kenny Pickett out of the University of Pittsburgh who could be a nice young kid to be their next franchise QB.
Roethlisberger will try to finish his final game with the Steelers with a victory and beat his biggest rivals, the Browns.
