Roethlisberger throws 4 TDs, Steelers drill Titans 40-17
PITTSBURGH — Another uninspiring half in the books in a season littered with them for a team that expects to play deep into January and beyond, Ben Roethlisberger decided he had seen enough.
So the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback decided it was time to speak up. The defence had kept the Tennessee Titans and star Marcus Mariota in check, yet a game that had the makings of a blowout didn’t feel like one mostly because the offence kept squandering chance after chance.
No more.
“He didn’t call anyone out, he called all of us out,” guard David DeCastro said. “Linemen. Receivers. Himself. Running backs. Purely positive. It was a challenge. He challenged us. The guys responded.”
