“Backup” Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, And Martavis Bryant Throttle Help Throttle Cleveland In Week 10

When Ben Roethlisberger went down with what was categorized as a mid-foot sprain in the fourth quarter of Pittsburgh’s 38-35 victory against the Oakland Raiders last week, it was expected that he would miss at least a couple of games.
