PITTSBURGH — Mike Tomlin was disappointed and surprised his message regarding the importance of last week’s meeting with the Bengals in Cincinnati fell flat as the Steelers were beaten handily, 41-10.
Ben Roethlisberger’s message to his teammates this week is a more simple one. At 5-5-1, the Steelers have left themselves with little room for error with six games remaining as they head into Sunday’s meeting at Heinz Field against the AFC North-leading Ravens (8-3).
“If you have to give guys a message at this point in the year and where we are, then maybe it’s time to get guys who don’t need a message,” Roethlisberger said. “People need to understand what this is about.”
With the Steelers, it has always been about trying to win a championship. The team has won two of them since selecting Roethlisberger in the first round of the 2004 NFL Draft and been to another. It’s played in six AFC Championship games since the 2001 season.
