The Steelers-Ravens rivalry cannot be discussed without mentioning Roethlisberger, whose one-on-one rivalry with former Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs was mentioned by Tomlin to the team during the days leading up to the game. Roethlisberger talked to Harris about how he can infuse his unique physicality to what is arguably the NFL's best rivalry. Roethlisberger said that he spoke to Harris about how Sunday night was likely his first of many matchups against Pittsburgh's main rival. It's always humbling when you play this team at home and coach recognizes you like that. "I think a lot of guys deserve it, and we deserve it as a group. "I don't think that I deserve it," Roethlisberger said. I've always been a one game at a time, one season at a time person, and I'm going to stay that way." "I'll address any of that stuff after the season. "My focus is on Minnesota and what we have to do to get ready," said Roethlisberger, who went 21 of 31 for 236 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday that included the game-winning touchdown pass to Diontae Johnson. After subpar play from Roethlisberger and his teammates during team's recent 0-2-1 skid, Big Ben and the Steelers responded with a much-needed win against their most bitter rival. The 39-year-old quarterback looked like a younger version of himself during the final stanza of Sunday's game. Roethlisberger, who did confirm that he received a game ball for his play during the Steelers' 20-19 come-from-behind win over the Ravens, said that his focus is on the 2021 Steelers and Pittsburgh's upcoming Thursday night game in Minnesota. PITTSBURGH - Ben Roethlisberger and Mike Tomlin did not confirm nor deny reports that this is indeed the final season for the future Hall of Fame quarterback.
