Steelers fans won’t be happy about Bengals low hit on Ben Roethlisberger.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has only been activated from reserve/COVID-19 list for 24 hours and he’s already been a huge target to some rough play. On Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Roethlisberger was involved in a scary low hit which borderlines excessive.

The play was called for unnecessary roughness and we won’t go as far as calling it dirty but that doesn’t mean Steelers fans wouldn’t be justified in their anger.
Steelers Twitter was not too happy about Ben Roethlisberger being a target
Sam Hubbard was seen in the video going for the leg/ankle of Roethlisberger and the quarterback was immediately seen grabbing his leg in pain.
Roethlisberger flexing his right leg after roughing the passer call on Hubbard. Came in low on his leg.

We’ve seen Ben Roethlisberger grab his knee, rub his elbow and shake his arm. It’s midway through the second quarter. Someone’s gonna have a Big Ben Bingo by the second half.

When's the last time Ben Roethlisberger has gotten roughing the passer penalties in consecutive games?
