The Pittsburgh Steelers topped the Cleveland Browns 26-14 Monday night, keeping their playoff hopes alive in what was likely quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's last game at Heinz Field.

Roethlisberger threw for 123 yards and a touchdown as “Let’s Go Ben!” chants rang out from the Steeler fans. The 39-year-old admitted this week that “all signs” indicate this season, his 18th, will be his last and he’ll be retiring.

He choked back tears after the game, saying, “I’m so thankful and blessed to be able to call this place home for almost half my life.” 

 

Brown Didn't Say Anything

Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians said Monday that Antonio Brown didn’t say anything about an injury before taking off his shirt and walking off the field during the Bucs game against the New York Jets a day earlier.

Arians wanted Brown to go in the game and he’d refused, with an NFL Network report saying it was due to an ankle injury that had kept him out for weeks.

But Arians said Monday Brown didn’t tell him he didn’t want to go in because he was injured.

 

Raiders' Hobbs Arrested

Las Vegas Raiders rookie cornerback Nate Hobbs was arrested on a misdemeanor DUI charge early Monday morning, hours after the Raiders’ win over the Indianapolis Colts kept their playoff hopes alive.

Las Vegas police said they got a call just after 4 a.m. about a driver asleep inside a vehicle parked on the exit ramp of a parking garage. Hobbs, who was the driver, failed a field sobriety test and was booked for misdemeanor DUI.

The Raiders said they were gathering information about the incident.
