2019 was easily one of the most tumultuous seasons for the Pittsburgh Steelers in more than a decade. After believing they had rid themselves of distractions and could just focus on football, the unthinkable happened. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger finally succumbs to a lingering elbow injury and is lost for the team’s final 14 games.
But Roethlisberger is back. His remarkable comeback is the stuff of legend and this team really feels like they have something special. If you want to see how they went from the lowest of lows to know when hope abounds, check out Roethlisberger’s docuseries chronicling his return from injury on the YouTube channel Rep 1 Football.
Within the first minute of the first episode of Bigger Than Ben, you get just a small taste of what Roethlisberger had to hear from mainstream sports media about him and his team and the sheer volume of vitriol aimed his way, that in hindsight was misguided. This is a series no NFL fan is going to want to miss.
