KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Brief and to the Point ...
• Possibly lost amid the thrill of victory and the agony of Antonio Brown's social media skills is that the Steelers' most important player again was not their most important player Sunday.
Here's what Ben Roethlisberger has to show for two playoff games thus far: 421 combined passing yards, a 67.3 completion percentage, two touchdowns that both came on long AB catch-and-runs against the Dolphins, zero touchdowns in the six-field-goal capitulation of the Chiefs and ... and ... eh.
He's been OK. And he's occasionally come up with the key play, notably the third-down rollout to AB that clinched victory here. But he again was mediocre against Kansas City: 20 of 31 for 224 yards with an interception. And going back, he hasn't topped 289 passing yards once in this nine-game winning streak, and his 12 total touchdowns have been plenty offset by nine interceptions.
He hasn't been Ben yet.
