About, Ben Roethlisberger spoke of the engagement at Arrowhead Stadium and ironically assured that los Steelers they have no chance of winning, so they will only show up to the game to have a good time.
“We probably shouldn’t be here. We are probably not a good football team. Of the 14 qualified teams, we are the worst, “he explained at a press conference.” We are disadvantaged by double digits in the playoffs. So we’ll just play and have fun and see what happens. “
Just under three weeks ago, the Steelers and Chiefs fought in Kansas City and the locals won a comfortable 36-10 scoreline victory. That compromise affected the betting lines to the degree that Pittsburgh to kick off engagement underdog by 12.5 points at casinos (the most uneven line in the wild card round).
Praise for the Chiefs
Along the same lines as your previous comment, “Big Ben” recognized that the Chiefs are one of the powers of the NFL And this won’t allow the Steelers to put up much resistance.
“We are going against the number one team. I know they are not the best seeded, but they have won the AFC the last two years, they are possibly the best team, “he added. “We don’t have a chance, we’ll just play and have a good time. “
Among all of Roethlisberger’s sarcastic comments, it should be noted that Kansas City is indeed one of the most dangerous opponents in the league. In 2020 and 2021 alone, the years referred to by the Steelers’ QB, the Chiefs finished with 6,653 and 6,746 yards., which earned him the best offense a year ago and the third most productive this season.
