Steelers News: Ben Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell, Heinz Field

The Steelers return from their week off to face the Ravens for some good old fashioned AFC North road action.

Before the team heads down to Baltimore to remind everyone who runs the AFC North we’ll be busy looking for mentions of your Black & Gold so we’ve got you covered. Here’s your Steelers Morning Huddle for Monday, Oct. 31^st.

Breaking news: It’s uncertain

Ben Roethlisberger had a surgical procedure done on his knee just two weeks ago. But, because he’s Ben Roethlisberger we’re wondering if he’s going to suit up and face the Ravens this weekend in Baltimore. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that we still don’t know.

I know, compelling stuff. I’m sure he wants to play but he knows it’s going to be a physical game. I’d expect him to be one of those “we’ll let the week of practice participation be our guide” guys this week for Tomlin.

Renaissance Man

Le’Veon Bell is a man of many talents, obviously. Since returning from a three-game suspension to start the season he’s been basically the major component of the offense and he’s also working on his rap career. He doesn’t like people assuming he can’t do both.

He will call you out and he’s not afraid to be humble when called out for his college team.

I bet that album is going to be straight fire though. Three flame emojis worth of fire.

Don’t be a jagoff

Simon A. Chester over at the Steelers Wire compiled some pretty interesting numbers based on a Washington Post report on how likely fans are to be arrested in each stadium in the NFL. Apparently Heinz Field has a pretty high population of jagoffs for game days.

You’re only more likely to end up in handcuffs at the end of the game if you’re at a Chargers, Jets/Giants or Raiders game than at a Steelers game. That’s rather surprising. Chester suggests the data might be skewed by the different policies for each stadium.

Heinz Field had a strict, zero tolerance policy for jagoffs; hence the high percentage of arrests. On the other hand, if you go to a game in Cincinnati, they can’t tell the difference between jagoffs and their own players so you can get away with a lot more there, I assume.
