Playing for a football team for almost 18 years is an incredible achievement itself. But all good things come to an end and Ben Roethlisberger’s 18-year football career for the Pittsburgh Steelers is coming to an end.

Over the years, many professional wrestlers have shown interest in football. Some have even tried to pursue a career in football prior to becoming a professional wrestler. For example, WWE superstars Goldberg and Brock Lesnar tried to pursue a career in football.

The AEW superstar took to Twitter and thanked Big Ben following the Steelers game against the Cleveland Browns.

This game against the Cleveland Browns was Big Ben’s last home game for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Not only that, but it could also possibly be Big Ben’s last NFL season.

Ben played football for the Steelers for 18 long years after he got selected by the Steelers in the 2004 NFL Draft. Ben Roethlisberger’s last home game for the Steelers ended on a pleasant note. They got the better of the Cleveland Browns with a scoreline of 26-14.

Can Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers qualify for the playoffs?

Qualifying for the playoffs is no more in the hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They need other results to go in their favor to qualify. Next week, the Pittsburgh Steelers will compete in a must-win game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Even if they win that game, it will not guarantee their spot in the playoffs. Not only the Pittsburgh Steelers but the Ravens also will try to win that game in order to keep their hopes alive. But both the teams will need other results to go their way.
