A more than irregular season was the one he lived Pittsburgh Steelers this 2020 to the National Football League (NFL), where he went from being undefeated for 11 weeks to being eliminated in a wild card round by the Cleveland Browns, and criticism from his fans points in the same direction, the experienced quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
At 38, he revealed that the option of retirement is on the table. “It’s going to start between God and me, a lot of prayer. A lot of conversation with my family, discussions, decisions. I still have a year on my contract. I hope the Steelers want me back. There will be a lot of discussions. But now it’s not the time for that, ”he expressed.
And he continued, “The season wasn’t good enough. When you lose a game like this, you can look back and evaluate everything you want, but when it doesn’t end the way you want, you always feel somehow, like if you had fallen short or out of your fault. “
The quarterback said it would be a long break after the elimination, in which to close the wounds and calmly assess his future. It will be an unexpected end to the marshal’s race: “The defeat is fresh. It is simply lodged in our hearts and our minds right now. Being for a while.”
What was seen last Sunday with Pittsburg Steelers be a historic role in the NFL. The franchise became the first in history to fit 28 points in the first quarter in the Playoffs since the league merged in 1970.
The quarterback’s performance was just as uneven as that of his team, playing 15 of 17 regular-season games, plus the playoff game, completing 65.6 of his passes for 3,803 yards, with 33 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. .
