Big Ben is OUT!

PrintESPN just reported that Ben Roethlisberger will be the Steelers' emergency QB for Sunday night's game against the Ravens. Dennis Dixon will start in his place with the recently signed Tyler Palko as the backup.
This likely gives the Ravens a significant advantage in that critical matchup. While the Ravens are desparate for a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, the Bengals could definitely use a Steelers loss to solidify the division. It is a bit bittersweet, however, as nobody likes to gain advantage through an injury (though the Steelers definitely relished in their advantage in the playoff game when Palmer went down...)
It looks like if the Bengals take care of business against the Browns, they could hold a two game advantage with the tiebreaker with 5 games to play.

Watch Dixon take his job
Dixon can run that rock, he was a Heisman canidate before the injury
CB85......Collaros for Heisman
QBs that run a lot
will end up with concussions in the NFL.
Even if Dixon had a unbelievable game
Ben would never lose his job. He’s won 2 SB’s and is a proven winner. On top of that, he makes WAY too much money to be sitting on the bench even if he wasn’t the better of the two.
A Ravens Win
A Ravens win would give us a huge push in the playoff race. It will be one of the rare times that I’ll cheer for any other team in the AFC north
This is our year!
