From Teresa Varley, Steelers.com:

101616Ben Roethlisberger had a rough day at the office in a 30-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins, suffering a knee injury before halftime that sent him to the locker room and appeared to have a significant impact on him when he returned to action in the second half, even if he won’t point at it as an issue.

“We don’t make excuses,” said Roethlisberger. “We are all out there playing through pain and won’t make excuses.”

Roethlisberger completed just 19 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown, and threw two interceptions with a quarterback rating on the day of 57.1. He said he didn’t know the severity of the injury yet, but is hoping for the best.

“We don’t know anything yet,” said Roethlisberger. “Hopefully we’ll know tonight. We’ll just pray that it’s not too serious.”
