Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is trying to forget his first Super Bowl (three years ago). Well, aside from the fact he won it, that is. Ben was 9-of-21 passing for 123 yards with no touchdowns. And two interceptions. At Super Bowl XLIII Media Day today, Ben explained his new approach to the latest biggest game of his career:
“I’m treating it more like a game. Yeah, it’s a Super Bowl and we have an opponent, but it’s just about having fun. I treated it like a big game the first time and it didn’t work out so well for me. I’m going to try to treat it like it’s a normal game. You know what’s going on and you know it’s more than just that, but I’m just going to come out here and have fun on Sunday.”
According to Arizona Cardinals defensive end Bertrand Berry, Ben will be the focal point of their attack and the Cards “will get after him as best we can.” Of course, what else is the guy going to say? But if the Steelers offensive line can generate a running game and keep Ben upright (not always an easy task) in the passing game, fun will indeed be the name of Ben’s game.
