PITTSBURGH — Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said last week’s loss is in the past and the team is focused on its next game against the undefeated Chiefs.
“I think you guys are much more panicked than we are,” Roethlisberger told the media on Wednesday. “As you can see, not real shaken by last week or nervous and worried. We’re ready to go play football this week.”

A lot of the blame for the Steelers 30-9 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars was placed on Roethlisberger, who threw a career-high five interceptions. Two of them were returned for touchdowns.
After the game Sunday, Roethlisberger said, "Maybe I don't have it anymore" when asked if he could put his finger on what's gone wrong.
"To me that's the hardest part about having a bad game, letting the fans down, letting my teammates down. That's what bothers me," he said Wednesday. "That bothers me way more than my own pride and things."
The Steelers are averaging just 20 points a game heading into Sunday's visit to Kansas City.
