Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman Terrell Suggs had their share of battles over the years, and both players have appropriately earned multiple accolades for their accomplishments on the field.
Tomorrow, the Ravens are inducting Suggs into their Ring of Honor prior to their game against the Detroit Lions at M&T Bank Stadium, and Roethlisberger is giving a shoutout to his former opponent.
“You could outsmart a lot of guys, but not him,” Roethlisberger told Ravens.com’s Clifton Brown. “When I had to go up against him, I had to stress my brain. Only he can answer if I raised his game, but I know he always raised mine. He was a special player.”
“I loved playing against him because of the competitors we both are, the battles that we would have, the mutual respect that we had for each other,” Roethlisberger said. “And I absolutely hated it because he was either intercepting a pass, knocking passes down, sacking me – something that just made my day miserable.”
“There’s no doubt he’s a Hall of Famer, first ballot in my opinion…if you ask that question about Suggs, it’s a no-brainer for anybody who played against him,” Roethlisberger said. “He’s special.”
Meanwhile, Suggs has an equal amount of respect and admiration for Roethlisberger after all their on-field battles.
“I have a tremendous amount of respect for Ben Roethlisberger,” Suggs said. “I don’t have nothing bad to say about the guy. He broke my heart a lot of times, but I probably broke his sometimes, too.”
