Ben Roethlisberger’s Emotional Departure From Heinz Field Will Hit You Right in the Feels

Long live Big Ben.

The Pittsburgh Steelers played their last game at home for the season, in what many believe to be the final game at home for long time QB Ben Roethlisberger. Big Ben’s contract ends after this year which leaves his future uncertain.

Ben received ovations from fans all night including a thank you Ben chant as the Steelers secured their home victory and kept their slim playoff hopes alive.
