Roethlisberger has used the past 24 hours to reflect on his Hall of Fame career.
During his postgame press conference on Monday night, Roethlisberger expressed his appreciation for Pittsburgh.
“This is home,” Roethlisberger said, via ESPN. “I was born in Ohio, but I live here, and I’ll always be here. These fans and this place means so much to me and my family and always will. I’ve always said they’re the best fans in all of sports, and I’ll stick by that until the day I die.”
Roethlisberger will try to end his career on a positive note this Sunday, as the Steelers will take on Ravens in their regular season finale.
