Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger appeared to be coming to grips with the future of his NFL career as the team gets set to play its final home game of the 2021 season on Monday night.

Roethlisberger on Thursday was asked whether the Steelers’ game against the AFC North rival Cleveland Browns could be his final regular-season game at Heinz Field.

The Steelers have had an up and down season. The defense has been good at times but is in the middle of the road when it comes to points and yards allowed. The offense hasn’t been that much better with Roethlisberger under center. The team is 22nd in points scored and 22nd in yards gained.

Pittsburgh is 7-7-1 but still has a chance to make the playoffs.
