From Paul Daugherty, Cincinnati.com:

CINCINNATI, Oct. 14, 2060 – When Ben Roethlisberger III lined up behind center here Sunday with 15 seconds to play and the game on the line, he knew what had to be done. “My family has been in this situation lots of times,” he shrugged afterwards.

Ben III recalled his grandfather Ben talking about how his Steelers teams always won in Cincinnati. As a teenager, Ben III watched his father, Ben Jr., do the same thing to the Bengals.

“It wasn’t that hard,” Ben III admitted afterward. “I just saw the Bengals were in Cover-Zero defense and I called a slant pass to Antonio Brown III.” And just like that, the third generation of Bens-to-Browns stole another football game from the Cincinnati Bengals. The more things change, the more they don’t.


Remember Benjamin Jr.’s pass to AB’s son for the touchdown?
