Pittsburgh Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger spoke to the media on Thursday and it didn't take long for him to get asked the obvious question.
"Is this maybe your last game at Heinz Field?"
Here's what he had to say.
Monday night there will be one last offensive player introduction for this man.. "and youuuurrrrrrr quarterback.. from Miami of Ohio..Ben Roethlisberger!!!!"

Sounds like the writing is on the wall. There won't be many dry eyes in the stands on Monday night.
He was later asked that if head coach Mike Tomlin would call mid-season after he retired, would he entertain the thought of coming back for a spot start.
Ben Roethliisberger also says he’s probably not coming out of retirement next year if the Steelers call him — like reports of the Colts reaching out to Philip Rivers this week. pic.twitter.com/QJ7mSxRAlo

I know I'm going to savor these last two weeks. It's an end of an era in not only Steelers history, but my life. Crazy.
