The Enquirer's Paul Daugherty wrote Monday morning that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and former Miami University standout Ben Roethlisberger "is no longer Ben, Master of Cincinnati Disaster," adding that the Cincinnati Bengals "have won already in 2021, without playing a game."
It's worth noting that Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist Paul Zeise wrote that Sunday night's playoff loss to the Cleveland Browns should be the end of the Steelers' Roethlisberger era.
From Zeise:
The Steelers will never win another Super Bowl with Roethlisberger being their starting quarterback. This was his last hurrah, their last best chance and the Steelers were never in the game against a crippled Browns team.
Roethlisberger, who is 3-7 in his last ten playoff games, is the greatest quarterback in Steelers history and a first ballot Hall of Fame player, but he is done. Let me be accurate — he may not actually be done, but his days as the Steelers quarterback need to be done.
NFL Network's Peter Schrager compared Roethlisberger's effort against the Browns - despite 501 passing yards - to Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino's final NFL game in the Miami Dolphins' 62-7 playoff loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2000.
