Ron Cook: A painful end to Ben Roethlisberger’s career

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ben Roethlisberger did a terrific job Sunday night. Unfortunately for him and the Pittsburgh Steelers, his best work came after the 42-21 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs ended his career and the team’s season.

“God has blessed me with an ability to throw a football and blessed me to be able to play in the greatest city with the greatest fans,” Roethlisberger said.

“It’s a blessing to play this game. I try to tell these guys, how lucky are we that we get to play football for a living? We need to count our blessing. We get to entertain millions of fans and throw, catch, run and do what we did as kids. It’s our job now. We need to say our prayers and thank God for that.
