Ben Roethlisberger falls on his sword for missed opportunities vs Broncos
Roethlisberger took full responsibility for INT and missed throws tonight, complimenting receivers for being in the right places.
"A lot of the throws I missed is me needing to trust myself and that the guys are in the right spots because are they are in the right places."

There were times on Sunday when the Pittsburgh Steelers offense looked out of sorts. It was clear there were opportunities missed because the players weren’t on the same page. When quarterback Ben Roethlisberger spoke to the press after the game he took full responsibility for missed opportunities.
This is nothing new for Roethlisberger. He is always the first guy to fall on his sword when the offense struggles even if it isn’t his fault. But this week it might have been. Roethlisberger finished with 311 passing yards but it was far from a clean game. Getting 84 yards on one completion really helped those numbers.
Roethlisberger is still working his way back from an injury that could have ended his career. It’s doubtful his body is 100 percent yet and it’s doubtful his confidence is either. Barring a setback, I’m hopeful we see a sharper and more confident version of Roethlisberger as the season goes on.
