After the 5 interception debacle against the Jacksonville Jaguars Ben Roethlisberger had practiced clear self-doubt – a few days later the Steelers’ quarterback publicly rode back.
“I don’t play well enough.Maybe I just don’t have it anymore.I don’t play well enough,”Roethlisberger explained to the reporters after the game in the cabin.Since he had already flirted with a possible resignation in the spring, this statement hit all the bigger waves – on Wednesday Big Ben finally rowed back.
“I have no self-doubt,”quotes the NFL Network Roethlisberger,”I don’t mean that insulting to you, but it doesn’t matter if you question me,” the comment after the game was just born out of frustration,”we’re still at the top of the division.I think you’re more worried than we are.As you can see, I’m not nervous or worried.We’re ready for the next game.”
However, despite all the self-confidence, it can be said that Pittsburgh’s passing game has not really worked so far – especially the deep-passing game is ailing.The Steelers travel to Kansas City on Sunday before Cincinnati returns to Pittsburgh for a divisional duel.
