Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (7) is sacked by Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Geno Atkins (97) and defensive end Michael Johnson (93) in Sunday’s loss in Pittsburgh. The Steelers failed to make the playoff s for only the fourth time since 2001, and Roethlisberger says the team’s collapse has to do with him not playing well enough down the stretch.
