PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Following the Steelers' second loss in a row, this time falling to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night, Ben Roethlisberger was critical of his own play.
In an interview with media members after the 26-15 loss in Orchard Park, N.Y., Roethlisberger said he is "not playing good enough football for us to win."
He followed that up, saying that if he doesn't play good enough football, he needs to hang it up, and that he is "going to do everything I can to get back on track."
