Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger drops major hint regarding his future!

This could be it for the longtime Steelers QB.

Michael W.

He's spent his entire NFL career with the Steelers since they made him the 11th overall draft pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. Could this be the final appearance for him on his home field? According to the man himself, it's looking that way.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said earlier today that Monday night's game at Heinz Field could be the last time that he suits up in front of the fans who have cheered his career for the past 18 years. 

"Looking at the bigger picture, I would say all signs are pointing to this could be it -- regular season, that is," Roethlisberger said Thursday. "I know we still have a chance to potentially get a playoff game there if things fall our way and we take care of business and things have to happen. In the grand scheme of things, in terms of regular seasons, signs are pointing that way that this could be it."

He's a two-time Super Bowl winner, with a third appearance as well. He's also been named to six Pro Bowls while also amassing 63,721 passing yards and 416 touchdown throws over the course of his time in the NFL. He also has a Steelers franchise record of 163 wins. 

"I just want to win the football game," he continued. "That's all that matters to me. That's always been my thing. I found out last week I've got 91 wins at Heinz Field and broke a tie with Brett Favre for quarterbacks winning in one facility."

"To me, that'll always mean more than yards and touchdowns and wins. I'm sure you can go back to my very first press conference, all I've ever said I wanted to do was win. And that's what is most important to me. That's what's going to be most important. I don't care if it's 3-0. I just want to win a football game because it's so important for our season."
