Once the second half started, Pittsburgh gave it all back thanks to an Alex Collins touchdown run and Geno Smith touchdown pass to tight end Will Dissly.
Then, with the score tied at 17 in the 4th quarter, Ben Roethlisberger got a case of the butterfingers, losing the ball off a pump fake and turning it over to the Seahawks. For some reason, the play was reviewed, but anyone who saw it knew he coughed it up.
After official review, it’s a fumble.

While Pittsburgh was able to hold Seattle to a three-and-out, that didn't stop the social media world from letting Big Ben know he might be washed in his age-39 season.
While this play is under review, the Steelers should hold a retirement ceremony for Big Ben.

Hard to tell the difference between that maybe-fumble and most Ben Roethlisberger throws.
