Film Room: Pound the rock to lighten the load on Ben Roethlisberger is the new Steelers formula
Remember when I kept saying Ben Roethlisberger wasn’t done?

Film review: Bengals still can’t stop the run and Le’Veon Bell showed why
The offense, after repeating the same script from the Packers loss in overtime, has taken most of the blame for the result, but a strong Bengals defense that was near the top of every ranking wasn’t able to stop the Steelers offense when it mattered.
Sure, they held Roethlisberger to 14 completions on 24 attempts, but that was mostly because they couldn’t contain Le’Veon Bell, and Pittsburgh wasn’t in need of many passing first downs. The Bengals defense allowed quick scoring drives in the first quarter and at the beginning of the second, then the Steelers’ running back took over.

“I hated London, hated it. I hated it with a passion,” said Britt, who then elaborated, “I hated everything about it. I hated the flight. I hated us being there so long. I hated the flight back. I hated the food. You can ask my wife the same thing, and she’ll give you the same answer.” When pressed to provide anything he enjoyed about his previous trip, Britt only answered with, “Nothing.”
