As a Steelers fan, this couldn’t have been a better game. The defense was incredible, but Ben played his heart out for his last game at Heinz field. THANK YOU BEN! THANK YOU BEN!
Wow. Never was a steelers fan but mad respect to Ben, watching everyone surround him after his last snap of the game shows how much he's respected as one of the best to do it n it was cool to see
Yes for many years you hardly saw a Super Bowl without a Manning, Brady, or Roethlisberger in it. But Father Time never takes a play off and nobody beats his clock management.
@@danielmocsny5066 You' re damn right I checked it out. Since 2002 there are only three SB without one of these guys. 2003 Buccaneers - Raiders 2013 Ravens-49'ers 2020 Chiefs- 49' ers Time for something new. Like to see Murray vs. Allen.
Ben has been the Steelers quarterback since I can remember learning about football. It’s gonna be weird not seeing him play next year. The NFL is gonna miss him.
Ohio will not miss the Ohio native Ben's prime years of beating up Ohio teams. The 2021 Ben was much more to our liking, at least in the southwestern part of the state.
Absolutely tho those “Thank You Ben” chants were well deserved , 18 seasons that this man has gave to the city of Pittsburgh , two SuperBowls , made it to the super bowl 3 times in his career , just an absolute legend
The stats don’t matter in this regard, what matters is Big Ben saying goodbye to city and place where he brought back so many great memories and then, getting a win is something that’s really emotionally touching to see. What a way to go out on top!!!!
We tend to forget that this guys been winning games for 18 years. Over that time I have seen him pull off amazing victories, games you never thought you could win. Beat up and bleeding and still he wins the game. True football warrior. One of the best ever thanks for the everything Ben Rothisbeger. Steeler Nation.
From a Browns fan...Ben, best wishes to you. A great QB. Wish I could say thanks for the memories. Steeler fans have known greatness thanks to the big guy!
It’s hard seeing a great rival go. It’s what makes rivalries so much fun. I’m a Steelers fan and I’m thrilled the browns have got a good team. It’s no fun if the games aren’t down to the last drive. Honestly I wasn’t even mad last year you beat us in the playoffs. Upset yes, but I’ve been watching football since I was 4 in the early 80’s and the turnpike rivalry has always been my favorite. I just hope we can get a good qb to keep it going next year. But it’ll be a while before we have another franchise qb.
@@yodaevil It'll be exciting to see what the Steelers do at the quarterback position. Mason is not great and there's not a great draft class either. I grew up with Big Ben. A different guy back there is going to be strange to see.
Ben finishing with NO losing *Seasons* in his 18 year career is amazing itself. Everyone knew he was going to show the Browns one last time he still owns them after all these years lol
As a Ravens fan it's sad to see him retire. I will miss playing him twice a year. Win or lose those games were intense and whoever won those games earned it. To me this felt like when Ray Lewis and Ed Reed played their last home game together in the 2012 Wild Card Game against the Colts. After that game was over and those 2 took a lap around M&T I started crying. Its the same feeling for Steelers fans. He was the man that brought a 2nd glory age to the Steel City. Big Ben turned that team from a unit that couldn't win the big one into a 2 time Super Bowl Champion in his tenure. Not to mention this was likely the final game with Heinz Field as the naming rights to their stadium which makes this even more emotional. I will be honest, I would be honored to see the Steelers beat us next week at M&T Bank Stadium, and the Jaguars to beat the Colts so that Pittsburgh can have one more chance to send him out on top. Farewell Ben, thank you for giving us 18 years of a competitive and respected rivalry.
@@bruinsteel This is one of the few times I won't feel angry if we lost to the Steelers. It would be sad not only because he made everyone in the AFC North fear him year in and year out. Not because of the Ravens likely missing the playoffs but because of the circumstances I just mentioned.
As a Steelers fan, Ravens were our biggest rival but the one we always respected. The Bengals we had no respect for. Ravens was mutually agreed it would be a tough, gritty, fair game. No dirty hits or personal shots. Respect from 412💛🖤
Wow even as a Bengals fan, that final snap got me so emotional. Hated how good a player he was haha, going to miss you in the AFC North, Big Ben! Mad respect! One of the greatest QBs of all time for sure.
Now let’s see if Pittsburgh can somehow find a QB to compete with JoeyB 😳 Glad to see you guys getting better! AFC North is hands down the best division in the NFL!
as a bengals fan i have zero respect for roethlisberger. he’s from the same part of Ohio my family is from, i want to like him. but looking into the allegations to the fullest extent of public knowledge, ben is not worthy of respect off the field. i will say he ruined many of my sundeys and i admire his fortitude. but he is a brute and not a good guy. bye ben
Saints fan here. Steelers fans, I feel your pain. I was extremely sad when I found out that Brees was retiring after the season was over, and I know it must hurt for you guys’ QB to be retiring shortly. Big Ben, you were great, I’m sure Steelers fans were very proud of your work. You’ll be missed
Im a chiefs fan, but damn I couldn’t help but tear up at the end of the game when Ben was saying his goodbyes. Yes we all root for our specific teams, but at the end of the day this is a game that all of us love and watch for entertainment and the guys that play it to its highest level deserve respect no matter what team they play for.

Much love Big Ben coming from a seahawk fan. You will always be one of the great QBs to play this game, it was really fun watching you these past few years.
Loved how his teammates, especially on defense, played their hearts out. Ben said before the game that the win is the only thing that he wants. Ben played QB his way and took so many hits early in his career. He represented Pittsburgh as a tough old school QB. Hats off to him!
I’m not even a Steelers fan and I’m low key tearing up knowing that was his last game at Heinz Field. Watching him as a kid until now has been an experience. Although I’m not a Steelers fan I am a fan of Big Ben. Congrats on a wonderful career! You have left big shoes for someone to fill.
Najee did this for Ben. When najee got that last touchdown, I broke out into tears. Ben is the only Steelers qb I’ve ever watched. To see him leave crushes me. There truly will never be another Steelers qb like him. Thank you Big Ben🖤💛
@@Cruzkilla88 meh that would have been the smart play but by getting the TD and making it effectively a 2 touchdown game with seconds left he essentially ended the game anyway barring something miraculous so he made the right play in that scenario
@@Cruzkilla88 They did though. Ben was able to take one more knee because of the interception. At that point it wasn’t even about winning the game. Ben deserved that touchdown by Najee
Mad respect from a Bengals fan. I've been hating this dude ever since I started watching football. But I know the reason I hate him is because of how great he is. RESPECT.
After watching Burrow play amazing yesterday I feel I could say a similar thing your way. I hate that we'll have to be dealing with that guy for 18+ years but I also have nothing but respect for him.
I don't like him for reasons that have nothing to do with how good or bad of a player he is, or what team he plays for. There's a reason his nickname is "Rapelisberger" in some circles.
I was 9 about to turn 10 and it makes me want to cry thinking he’s basically been the only QB I’ve known for the Steelers. I was a fan for 1 year before they got Big Ben with Tommy Maddox but I was so young I don’t remember too much of it before Big Ben got here
Long time Bengals fan here... I’ll swallow my pride, and say that I respect the great career Ben has had. Even against my bengals 🤣 he played great football for many years and he makes the AFC North great.
I'll take the respect, but will hate that pussycat Vontaze Burfict forever for denying the Steelers a shot at another ring. Steelers may have won that game on Vontaze giving AB CTE, but they sorely missed him in a winnable game against Denver next round.
Top 5 almost in every qb category. Never had a season under 500. 2x superbowl champ. Been to supebowl 3 times. Only 2 seasons outta 18 where he was eliminated from pkayoffs prior to last game deciding. Best pump fake in HISTORY!!!!! A LEGEND!!!!
As a Steelers fan since I was young and growing up watching Ben, it will be weird to not see him after this season. He has shown Pittsburgh, the organization, his teammates, and the fans his heart and soul for the team during his 18 years in the NFL. Thank you Big Ben for those amazing years and memories.
Two positives as a Browns fan after watching this game... 1. Best stiffarm I've seen all season was from Chubb. 2. *Ben can finally leave us alone. It's been a long 2 decades.*
There were 2 nasty stiff arms this game and I love it (Najee at 6:05). Chubb's reminded me of Bell's against Cincy when he bounced Kirkpatrick like a basketball 😂. Absolutely embarrassing. Neither team is going to the SuperBowl this year, but damn if that wasn't the epitome of AFC N football for one last ride for Ben. GG's
I think the most important part of this video and story, is that at the end of the day even the young Cleveland browns give the man the respect he’s earned.
some of those young Cleveland players were playing middle and high school football when Ben was in the NFL. they've probably looked up to him since they were kids.
Yes BUT THIS game was rigged !!! Mayfield played just like himself But the Refs and the Browns Defense made sure that Ben left on a winning Note. He was washed out YEARS ago
But they could barely score against the Chiefs (it was almost a major shut out and we knew they were gonna lose to them) so they aren't a good team. They need a lot of work. Their saving grace was the Brown's ain't very good compared to the Chiefs.
@@icydaddy I didn't feel the measured up to the greatest teams out there. Not this year anyway. But maybe with some super luck they can get to the super bowl this year, wouldn't that be crazy?
I’m in tears those last few minutes of the game. I can’t bro. I’m gonna miss him. So thankful he won his last Home game he deserves it. He gave Steelers so many amazing games especially during the playoffs and in the Super Bowl. Legend. Thank you Ben. God bless 😭🥲
Was the most electric football game I've ever been too. So much fun gg Big Ben thank you for all the amazing memories growing up, yesterday wasn't easy.
"They let Bud Dupree go" . . . as the man now wearing 48, Bud's old number, makes a sack. Also, TJ Watt is defensive MVP, he did all of this in 14 games and played several others injured. Man is a wrecking ball.
@@ciaranselva He is averaging like 4 catches for about 50 yards per game. He has gotten some TDs, but hardly thriving. DPJ has more impact on games than OBJ at this point in a career. He's a no.3 receiver at best on most rosters with any talent.
I feel like it would have ended better if Tomlin just let Ben go out there and throw a bomb Hail Mary since even if the browns picked it and scored a TD they still would have won. The knee out is just kinda lame but now that I’m typing this it’s kinda symbolic to take the knee probably been on that knee for the past 30 years listening to coach’s or a huddle. I’m too stoned for these emotions
@@casperruud331 no one cares about sportsmanship. That TD is the dagger. Browns get that after last year's playoffs. Absolutely loved the last minute score. Too fitting for this game.
THIS game was rigged !!! Mayfield played just like himself But the Refs and the Browns Defense made sure that Ben left on a winning Note. He was washed out YEARS ago
@@alextafoya3053 ur browns played terrible just take the L n stop making excuses ur offense is just as bad as ur defense n ur defense is ass while having hella good defensive players. That’s crazy
@@alextafoya3053 If that were so, the ref would not have flagged the Steelers for pass interference in the end zone which led to a Browns touchdown with plenty of time left to win the game. That's just 1 example. But it's okay, stay butthurt if you so wish 🤣🤣
@@Terror832 Ryan is absolutely going to be done soon, poor dude’s line clearly has zero interest in keeping him upright. As a Steelers fan I thought our line was bad but poor MR just getting sacrificed out there.
Got to see the Steelers win 2 Super Bowls with this man before I was 12. Very emotional game last night. Ben deserved nothing less to go out the way he did. Thank you #7.
What an amazing game for Big Ben to end on here at Heinz field. He’s been my favorite qb since I was born and will always by my favorite qb. Amazing talent, can’t wait to go see him in the hall of fame.
THIS game was rigged !!! Mayfield played just like himself But the Refs and the Browns Defense made sure that Ben left on a winning Note. He was washed out YEARS ago
Honestly, you could just tell that Cleveland had nothing to play for. You could tell once they found out they were mathematically eliminated. Prime example is one team used their RB heavily, the other one didn’t. But this was all the Steelers tonight and just wow. What a way for Big Ben to close out his career at Heinz field by owning a team like he always has. Najee Harris running it out with a TD to close it and one of his defensive players intercepting it just so Big Ben could have one last snap on his home field. I know he has another game next week at Baltimore but honestly, man thank you for delivering such great performances dating back to the Packers SB and the Cardinals one too. What a ride it’s been these last 18 years.
Steelers fan here - I Can appreciate the browns playing a clean and solid game and respecting Ben’s last home game. They could’ve played to mathematically eliminate us or whatever because division rivalry, but they didn’t for bens last home game.
Steelers best Game of the Year......Najee's, TJ's & Ben winning his final home game....what a positively emotional Night for the Steel Nation! HERE WE GO🟡🔴🔵
Stefanski's behavior has become less and less understandable (or defensible) the longer it has been obvious Baker is struggling mightily to do what is asked of him. You guys over in Cleveland had BETTER be hoping and praying you DON'T have a "fraud" obsessed with their "system" like Adam Gase and Matt Nagy turned out to be!
I'm glad to see Ben go out with a win at Hines! Keep the momentum rolling over the Ravens!!! BTW hell of a game by the lines both OL & DL's and Najee running like a Kardashian to a plastic surgeon!
Coming from a Bengals fan here. I just wanted to say congrats to Big Ben on one hell of a career in Pittsburgh! To see the body of work over a 18 season career that Big Ben had in Pittsburgh is truly remarkable. To winning two Super Bowls,appearing in a third,to making the pro bowl 6 times,it has been a great career for Big Ben. When it's all said and done,Ben will be wearing a gold jacket in Canton Ohio!
Been watching since I was a little boy and now am 21 Thank you so much ben for making mine & my dads memories watching games so fun and wholesome will always have a place in my heart. THANK YOU #7!
I still remember that final drive against the Jags in week 11 five years ago that ended in a touchdown from Ben, and successfully completing the 17 point comeback. I was so emotional that day, and even though I am a more recent Steelers fan, I still got to thank Ben for all the amazing moments. THANK YOU BEN🖤💛👑
Glad to see the browns fighting and actually being a threat in the north. These afc north rivalry games are legendary but when the browns were terrible those games sucked . Glad to see Ben win his last home game .
When N .Harris made that touchdown I felt like the whole world stopped for Ben ❤️❤️ he deserved it❤️ thank you Ben for making foootball 7 times better for me growing up ❤️
THIS game was rigged !!! Mayfield played just like himself But the Refs and the Browns Defense made sure that Ben left on a winning Note. He was washed out YEARS ago
1) As a Browns fan, thank you Ben for kicking our butts all these years. 2) Browns should draft/trade for new quarterback! (we have top 5 OL right now, don't waste it!) 3) I'm sorry but Steelers fans yelling "flagpole!" to Baker Mayfield was too funny!😂
Thank you Ben for leading this team for as long as you have it's been amazing to watch you play and you showed that your not going out easy last night. Great game Pittsburgh
A Giants fan here. I teared up for Ben. More than I did for Eli. After his early career off the field mistakes he seemed to turn it around. He is one of the greats. I would bet on him retiring for sure. Hope they make the playoffs.
I was born in January 2005 as a lifelong hard-core Pittsburgh Steelers fan he’s been the face of the franchise my entire life I cried after that game not even gonna lie thank you Ben 🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛. Also TJ Watt is the defensive player of the year and it’s not even close anymore he’s missed nearly 200 snaps and is one sack behind tying the single-season record. Jesus bless y’all.
@@phillipfalcon5864 Come on man don't be like that. Time goes on and people grow older so let them enjoy their time. He may be young but you're the only child here from what we can see.
@@kimberlycampbell1100 I wasn't talking about him directly I was saying the youth of his generation is lost. Mainly because of social media and false idols
Coaches are starting to expect every kick under 60 to be made, used to be 50, now to be a kicker you have to consistently make 50+ kicks, just look at some of the other games, record at Lambeau in January and McManu made a 61 yarder this week, Tucker made a 66 and Joey Slye is 6/6 for 50+. Unbelievable kicking.
Big Ben Wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you Ben. Thanks Bill C , Mike T , the Rooney’s ,and Steeler Nation. Class act. Outstanding organization. Became a fan at 5 yrs old in 73 Proud and fortunate to be a fan of the best organization in the NFL.
What an emotional win this was!! Guys played with a lot of heart and energy the O-line did great, Najee had his best game as pro (so far) and of course the defense played lights out, Ben probably didn't have his best game statistically but it was good to see him getting the win in his last home game with the steelers. Deffently gonna be weird not seeing him as the starting QB anymore but in the end i'm just greatful for what he's done for this team throughout his 18 year carrer. Way to go Ben!
As a lifelong football fan I know it's hard to find a legitimate franchise quarterback Big Ben was that guy. So thankful he was the Steelers quarterback for 18 years
gg Steelers. Kudos to Big Ben winning the final home game of his career. It really is the end of an era. The Steelers without Ben is gonna look weird for awhile ngl, lol - Browns fan
This comment section is pure gold. Never seen so much overwhelming respect and kind words for a player in comment section in a while. Whatever team you root for, thanks for taking the time to pay respect to Ben.
Was at the game tonight. Not a Steelers fan but I really respected the way the crowd cheered and cared for the guy. I hadn't seen anything after the game with the way the fans cheered Ben and Ben waved to the crowd since Cal Ripken. Thanks for a great night Pittsburgh !!!!
What a way to go out on top!! Great win for Pittsburgh and I'm so proud of Ben. He deserved this farewell. It couldn't have happened to be a better quarterback.
There were many of times during this game where Ben looked as if he turned the clock back 10 years. He’s the only QB I’ve ever know for this team, it won’t be the same without him. Thank you Ben
We love you ben. Even when the defense made mistakes or the offense couldn’t connect you kept pushing through. Even after all the tough losses and hate you went through you kept us hopeful. Stellar career, SuperBen.
I was at Ben Rothlesburger's first start in Miami 2004 when I was 11 years old. The announcers didn't even know how to pronounce his name. I've been watching Ben ever since, now 28 years old. You were a big part of my life. I'll never forget you
A snap, a knee on the grass as a dedication for the town , the nation of fan behind him. What a great pic, ty big ben for all you've done for the game.
As a Steelers fan, this couldn’t have been a better game. The defense was incredible, but Ben played his heart out for his last game at Heinz field. THANK YOU BEN! THANK YOU BEN!
As a Steelers fan I’m still salty about the tie against the worst team in the league
#SteelersNation I'm going to miss Ben.....In TO voice That's my Quarterback!!! 🖤💛🖤

Najee did this for Ben. When najee got that last touchdown, I broke out into tears. Ben is the only Steelers qb I’ve ever watched. To see him leave crushes me. There truly will never be another Steelers qb like him. Thank you Big Ben🖤💛
well.. would have been smarter to go down after the first down. So they could kneel the ball and end the game lol
@@Cruzkilla88 dude just stfu Harris is a rookie
@@Cruzkilla88 meh that would have been the smart play but by getting the TD and making it effectively a 2 touchdown game with seconds left he essentially ended the game anyway barring something miraculous so he made the right play in that scenario
@@johndavis9321 Agreed, John, the game wasn’t over.
@@Cruzkilla88 They did though. Ben was able to take one more knee because of the interception. At that point it wasn’t even about winning the game. Ben deserved that touchdown by Najee
Mad respect from a Bengals fan. I've been hating this dude ever since I started watching football. But I know the reason I hate him is because of how great he is. RESPECT.
After watching Burrow play amazing yesterday I feel I could say a similar thing your way. I hate that we'll have to be dealing with that guy for 18+ years but I also have nothing but respect for him.
I don't like him for reasons that have nothing to do with how good or bad of a player he is, or what team he plays for. There's a reason his nickname is "Rapelisberger" in some circles.
@@james_ford86 ....... in your circle jerk?????????
I was 16 when the Steelers drafted Ben, I just knew he was gonna be a great one. Truly blessed that I got to watch him play these 18 years 🖤💛
I was 11
And I’m 16 gonna be watching him retire😭
@@deefrostman3830 you probably don’t remember the Super Bowl years then 😕 they were really fun, wish we could’ve got just one more.
These all-time don't just void in the but the community itself
I was 9 about to turn 10 and it makes me want to cry thinking he’s basically been the only QB I’ve known for the Steelers. I was a fan for 1 year before they got Big Ben with Tommy Maddox but I was so young I don’t remember too much of it before Big Ben got here
Not even a Steelers fan but I love Big Ben, the things he’s done and what he has played through is truly remarkable.
Long time Bengals fan here... I’ll swallow my pride, and say that I respect the great career Ben has had. Even against my bengals 🤣 he played great football for many years and he makes the AFC North great.
I second that
Respect. Our legend is retiring, but it looks like you guys might have one just beginning. Good luck and congrats on winning the north!
Respect🤝🏻yall have a great future with joe and jamar. They are so fun to watch
I'll take the respect, but will hate that pussycat Vontaze Burfict forever for denying the Steelers a shot at another ring. Steelers may have won that game on Vontaze giving AB CTE, but they sorely missed him in a winnable game against Denver next round.
This is an inspirational moment for Big Ben. Hope he has a good time with his family during retirement.
Top 5 almost in every qb category. Never had a season under 500. 2x superbowl champ. Been to supebowl 3 times. Only 2 seasons outta 18 where he was eliminated from pkayoffs prior to last game deciding. Best pump fake in HISTORY!!!!! A LEGEND!!!!
With his pump fake in tonight's game, I thought his his glove would fly off his hand!
As a Steelers fan since I was young and growing up watching Ben, it will be weird to not see him after this season. He has shown Pittsburgh, the organization, his teammates, and the fans his heart and soul for the team during his 18 years in the NFL. Thank you Big Ben for those amazing years and memories.
Thank you Ben for 17 years of greatness. Steeler Nation loves you!
Two positives as a Browns fan after watching this game...
1. Best stiffarm I've seen all season was from Chubb.
2. *Ben can finally leave us alone. It's been a long 2 decades.*
Y’all will be traumatized forever‼️
Ben will always be the Brown's daddy. He may not be around anymore but, he will still pay child support.
@@reggins86 lol
There were 2 nasty stiff arms this game and I love it (Najee at 6:05). Chubb's reminded me of Bell's against Cincy when he bounced Kirkpatrick like a basketball 😂. Absolutely embarrassing. Neither team is going to the SuperBowl this year, but damn if that wasn't the epitome of AFC N football for one last ride for Ben. GG's
Imaging winning 3 games against this man in 18 years.. shows what a hell of a career he had.
I think the most important part of this video and story, is that at the end of the day even the young Cleveland browns give the man the respect he’s earned.
some of those young Cleveland players were playing middle and high school football when Ben was in the NFL. they've probably looked up to him since they were kids.
Thank you Ben for all this years and giving us so much joy seeing you playing for the Steelers
@Curious Cat as you can see a lot of Steelers fan have red this coment and gave it a thumbs up 👍 thanks
I respect how the Browns showed my QB love his last time playing them
Yea it would be nice if the browns could hang on 2 a quarter back 4 so long
Ben gave all he had during his career what more can you ask for such a class act individual
Steelers fans definitely got their money's worth tonight. Those "Thank you Ben" chants were loud and hearty.
Yes BUT THIS game was rigged !!! Mayfield played just like himself But the Refs and the Browns Defense made sure that Ben left on a winning Note. He was washed out YEARS ago
I can tell you that it definitely was worth every single penny I spent on these tickets, Priceless memory.
@@alextafoya3053 yeah keep telling yourself that
@@alextafoya3053 idiot, look at his stats year after year, last year was his best career year
Thank you Big Ben for giving this franchise 2 Lombardis during your time. Definitely my childhood hero!
But they could barely score against the Chiefs (it was almost a major shut out and we knew they were gonna lose to them) so they aren't a good team. They need a lot of work. Their saving grace was the Brown's ain't very good compared to the Chiefs.
@@crand20033 he never said they were a good team? i’m confused as to why you’re saying this
@@icydaddy On a scale of one to 10 they are a 6 to 7. They can't beat the "good" teams and the normally just barely beat the bad ones.
@@crand20033 Ok? They have a bad oline and a washed up qb lmao
@@icydaddy I didn't feel the measured up to the greatest teams out there. Not this year anyway. But maybe with some super luck they can get to the super bowl this year, wouldn't that be crazy?
No matter a fan of which team you are, you could not be more happy for Big Ben right now. Legendary career.
He was above average but won’t make hof
@@CornholioPuppetMaster what you smoking
@@speeddemon5377 he was
I’m in tears those last few minutes of the game. I can’t bro. I’m gonna miss him. So thankful he won his last Home game he deserves it. He gave Steelers so many amazing games especially during the playoffs and in the Super Bowl. Legend. Thank you Ben. God bless 😭🥲
Was the most electric football game I've ever been too. So much fun gg Big Ben thank you for all the amazing memories growing up, yesterday wasn't easy.
"They let Bud Dupree go" . . . as the man now wearing 48, Bud's old number, makes a sack. Also, TJ Watt is defensive MVP, he did all of this in 14 games and played several others injured. Man is a wrecking ball.
Lol yeah true, but look at Titans then look at Steelers
@@chrisbeach423 yeah we beat the titans 🤡
@@chrisbeach423 Steelers are better then the Titans
@@duskthunder9274 based on what metric? Games lost?
@@duskthunder9274 HAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHA You fools are my favorite Donks. Worthless game, enjoy trying to get a great QB in the draft.
This night was for Ben!
From a Chiefs fan, congrats on a spectacular career. You will be in the shrines of Canton someday
Save Nick Chubb from the Browns. That man deserves so much more and better.
Cleveland is the Place where careers End. So how can Nick be saved, there are many others in line
@@alextafoya3053 OBJ managed to escape and he is thriving. Mayfield is the problem, he is dogshit.
Send him to the Ravens. We will put him to use like never before
If Cleveland is gonna end his career. Why is he so good in Cleveland Why is he thriving Explain
@@ciaranselva He is averaging like 4 catches for about 50 yards per game. He has gotten some TDs, but hardly thriving. DPJ has more impact on games than OBJ at this point in a career. He's a no.3 receiver at best on most rosters with any talent.
Good to see the mutual respect from the Browns towards #7 at the end. They've had some amazing battles over the years.
Ben gave us his heart. Thank you for all the years of fun. City of Champions!
This game could not have ended better. Thank you for everything Ben!
I feel like it would have ended better if Tomlin just let Ben go out there and throw a bomb Hail Mary since even if the browns picked it and scored a TD they still would have won. The knee out is just kinda lame but now that I’m typing this it’s kinda symbolic to take the knee probably been on that knee for the past 30 years listening to coach’s or a huddle. I’m too stoned for these emotions
@@ryanmcwilliams8784 yea but they don't wanna run down the score cuz sportsmanship plus they already had the td from Harris
@@ryanmcwilliams8784 don't dull the emotions out. Life is hardly anything great without them.
@@casperruud331 no one cares about sportsmanship. That TD is the dagger. Browns get that after last year's playoffs. Absolutely loved the last minute score. Too fitting for this game.
So happy for Ben, couldn't have been a better ending for him there. Ravens fan here!
THIS game was rigged !!! Mayfield played just like himself But the Refs and the Browns Defense made sure that Ben left on a winning Note. He was washed out YEARS ago
@@alextafoya3053 I knew it would happen and bet $1000 of the Steelers and won. Literally. Anyone should have seen this coming from a mile away.
@@alextafoya3053 ur browns played terrible just take the L n stop making excuses ur offense is just as bad as ur defense n ur defense is ass while having hella good defensive players. That’s crazy
@@alextafoya3053 If that were so, the ref would not have flagged the Steelers for pass interference in the end zone which led to a Browns touchdown with plenty of time left to win the game. That's just 1 example. But it's okay, stay butthurt if you so wish 🤣🤣
Sad to see Big Ben go. The Steelers will never look the same without 7!
then extend him!
I felt like that with the saints too
FACTS 💯💯💯
In the last 24 months I’ve witnessed the end of Brees, Rivers, Eli and now Big Ben.
Brady, Rodgers and Matt Ryan are the last of the old guard.
@@Terror832 Ryan is absolutely going to be done soon, poor dude’s line clearly has zero interest in keeping him upright. As a Steelers fan I thought our line was bad but poor MR just getting sacrificed out there.
Got to see the Steelers win 2 Super Bowls with this man before I was 12. Very emotional game last night. Ben deserved nothing less to go out the way he did. Thank you #7.
18 great years of football - wow! You will be missed Big Ben 🖤💛
What an amazing game for Big Ben to end on here at Heinz field. He’s been my favorite qb since I was born and will always by my favorite qb. Amazing talent, can’t wait to go see him in the hall of fame.
THIS game was rigged !!! Mayfield played just like himself But the Refs and the Browns Defense made sure that Ben left on a winning Note. He was washed out YEARS ago
@@alextafoya3053 go to bed troll
is there a chance he'll be a first ballot hall of famer?
@@eb9165 nahh he is overrated
@@eb9165 Probably so, top 10 in basically all relevant QB stats, with 2 super bowl wins.
Honestly, you could just tell that Cleveland had nothing to play for. You could tell once they found out they were mathematically eliminated. Prime example is one team used their RB heavily, the other one didn’t.
But this was all the Steelers tonight and just wow. What a way for Big Ben to close out his career at Heinz field by owning a team like he always has. Najee Harris running it out with a TD to close it and one of his defensive players intercepting it just so Big Ben could have one last snap on his home field. I know he has another game next week at Baltimore but honestly, man thank you for delivering such great performances dating back to the Packers SB and the Cardinals one too. What a ride it’s been these last 18 years.
No. Faker mayfield just sucks.
Nah baker just mid ,admit it
Don’t forget the Seahawks super bowl
Don't forget the Seahawks too
Steelers fan here - I Can appreciate the browns playing a clean and solid game and respecting Ben’s last home game. They could’ve played to mathematically eliminate us or whatever because division rivalry, but they didn’t for bens last home game.
was at the game a few rows behind the Steelers bench. Incredible energy! Amazing game! definitely and experience i wont forget
Did you see yourself anywhere in the video?
Ben, Eli & Phillip were all great to watch. Glad I got to live to see these trio.
Thanks for all you brought our Steelers and the city of Pittsburgh Ben! 2 rings and alot of memories! It was a hell of a run!
Ben roethlisberger will always be a good player for the Steelers. He most definitely should be proud of himself.
A great. One of the greats
But this year he didn't have enough of a team to make it great.
Steelers best Game of the Year......Najee's, TJ's & Ben winning his final home game....what a positively emotional Night for the Steel Nation! HERE WE GO🟡🔴🔵
Go where ??? be realistic Steelers are not a TEAM they are a few Good Players Who manage at times. Today there was NO Challenge.
Major props to one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game, Big Ben. I'm going to miss watching him play for Pittsburgh.
😂😂😂😂
@National Treasure
3 Superbowl appearances and #4 in all time passing yards....not the best very very impressive!
One of the most painful games I've ever watched. Baker just threw incompletion after incompletion and Stefanski wouldn't give the ball to Chubb.
Stefanski's behavior has become less and less understandable (or defensible) the longer it has been obvious Baker is struggling mightily to do what is asked of him. You guys over in Cleveland had BETTER be hoping and praying you DON'T have a "fraud" obsessed with their "system" like Adam Gase and Matt Nagy turned out to be!
Baker is ennoying.
He will never became a top 10 QB.
Browns' fans are at the limit of their patience.
It’s because Mayfield is to busy making commercials, he’s not focused on being a player
@@obsidianreaper9507 Could be.
The thing is he could end his career now and would have no money problems.
@@terrycuster4213 that’s very true
From a Bengal fan , congrats to the Steeler fans and to Big Ben on a fantastic career .
Great career Ben...see ya in Canton, you've earned it. A Bills fan
Big Ben ending his career as how he's always done it, owning the Browns.
Still have one more game
I'm glad to see Ben go out with a win at Hines! Keep the momentum rolling over the Ravens!!! BTW hell of a game by the lines both OL & DL's and Najee running like a Kardashian to a plastic surgeon!
Hahahahaha,,, not running like a Kard...... too funny!😂
Coming from a Bengals fan here. I just wanted to say congrats to Big Ben on one hell of a career in Pittsburgh! To see the body of work over a 18 season career that Big Ben had in Pittsburgh is truly remarkable. To winning two Super Bowls,appearing in a third,to making the pro bowl 6 times,it has been a great career for Big Ben. When it's all said and done,Ben will be wearing a gold jacket in Canton Ohio!
Been watching since I was a little boy and now am 21 Thank you so much ben for making mine & my dads memories watching games so fun and wholesome will always have a place in my heart. THANK YOU #7!
The Steelers wasn't never my team but I always like Big Ben especially that year with the Bus that was a Hell of a Team
And that's when they had Troy Polamalu
I still remember that final drive against the Jags in week 11 five years ago that ended in a touchdown from Ben, and successfully completing the 17 point comeback. I was so emotional that day, and even though I am a more recent Steelers fan, I still got to thank Ben for all the amazing moments. THANK YOU BEN🖤💛👑
I remember the Jags beating the Steelers in the regular season and in the playoffs 2017😂
@@Supastackman you ruined the mood but yeah I hated that game. We played like ass.

Well done Ben. Congrats on a first ballot hall of fame career. All with one team!
Glad to see the browns fighting and actually being a threat in the north. These afc north rivalry games are legendary but when the browns were terrible those games sucked . Glad to see Ben win his last home game .
When N .Harris made that touchdown I felt like the whole world stopped for Ben ❤️❤️ he deserved it❤️ thank you Ben for making foootball 7 times better for me growing up ❤️

Thank You Ben! Gave every game his best effort and should be in the Hall of Fame he deserves it
1) As a Browns fan, thank you Ben for kicking our butts all these years.
2) Browns should draft/trade for new quarterback! (we have top 5 OL right now, don't waste it!)
3) I'm sorry but Steelers fans yelling "flagpole!" to Baker Mayfield was too funny!😂
2) Instead of getting a new quarterback every two years how about getting O linemen to protect the one you have.
I've sat here pondering flagpole for a few minutes, and I still don't get, help🤷🏿♂️
💯💯💯 Baker just doesn't have it.
@@geterdunstud Are you dense? Browns have an elite Oline when healthy. Right tackle was hung out to dry by his coach against Watt
@@geterdunstud wtf are you talking about? Browns are top 5 on protecting QB it's just that the Steelers are playing their heart out for BigBen. Buma$$
One of the greatest send offs I’ve seen for a player. Divine Intervention
Thank you Ben for leading this team for as long as you have it's been amazing to watch you play and you showed that your not going out easy last night. Great game Pittsburgh
This was the loudest crowd I’ve ever heard at Heinz Field despite being to two playoff games. Thank you Ben!
A Giants fan here. I teared up for Ben. More than I did for Eli. After his early career off the field mistakes he seemed to turn it around. He is one of the greats. I would bet on him retiring for sure. Hope they make the playoffs.
I was born in January 2005 as a lifelong hard-core Pittsburgh Steelers fan he’s been the face of the franchise my entire life I cried after that game not even gonna lie thank you Ben 🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛. Also TJ Watt is the defensive player of the year and it’s not even close anymore he’s missed nearly 200 snaps and is one sack behind tying the single-season record. Jesus bless y’all.

@@alextafoya3053 you are absolutely spot on! Anyone who disagrees is retarded.
@@alextafoya3053 nope. The browns just suck lol!!!!
Coaches are starting to expect every kick under 60 to be made, used to be 50, now to be a kicker you have to consistently make 50+ kicks, just look at some of the other games, record at Lambeau in January and McManu made a 61 yarder this week, Tucker made a 66 and Joey Slye is 6/6 for 50+. Unbelievable kicking.
Big Ben Wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you Ben. Thanks Bill C , Mike T , the Rooney’s ,and Steeler Nation. Class act. Outstanding organization. Became a fan at 5 yrs old in 73 Proud and fortunate to be a fan of the best organization in the NFL.
What an emotional win this was!! Guys played with a lot of heart and energy the O-line did great, Najee had his best game as pro (so far) and of course the defense played lights out, Ben probably didn't have his best game statistically but it was good to see him getting the win in his last home game with the steelers. Deffently gonna be weird not seeing him as the starting QB anymore but in the end i'm just greatful for what he's done for this team throughout his 18 year carrer. Way to go Ben!
As a lifelong football fan I know it's hard to find a legitimate franchise quarterback Big Ben was that guy. So thankful he was the Steelers quarterback for 18 years
Thank you Ben, Steelers nation Loves you 🖤💛
gg Steelers. Kudos to Big Ben winning the final home game of his career. It really is the end of an era. The Steelers without Ben is gonna look weird for awhile ngl, lol

Without a doubt lol. Respect
This comment section is pure gold. Never seen so much overwhelming respect and kind words for a player in comment section in a while. Whatever team you root for, thanks for taking the time to pay respect to Ben.
Was at the game tonight. Not a Steelers fan but I really respected the way the crowd cheered and cared for the guy. I hadn't seen anything after the game with the way the fans cheered Ben and Ben waved to the crowd since Cal Ripken. Thanks for a great night Pittsburgh !!!!
What a way to go out on top!! Great win for Pittsburgh and I'm so proud of Ben. He deserved this farewell. It couldn't have happened to be a better quarterback.
There were many of times during this game where Ben looked as if he turned the clock back 10 years. He’s the only QB I’ve ever know for this team, it won’t be the same without him. Thank you Ben
I was so happy to be at this game and even happier to be apart of Ben's last game and storied career. THANK YOU BEN 🖤💛🖤💛
