“Footbahlin’ with Ben Roethlisberger”, Episode 83
“Picture Perfect – Hard to say goodbye”
From Teresa Varley, Steelers.com:
Pictures can capture a moment in time, a moment many of us remember and some many never have seen.
So, we decided to share some of those moments in time through ‘Picture Perfect’ where we will bring to life historical Steelers photos.
Throughout the remainder of the offseason, Steelers.com will be featuring photos that tell the story of the Steelers through the years.
In today’s feature, we highlight the final home game for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
