Ben Roethlisberger is expected to retire at the end of the season

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said Monday night’s game against the Cleveland Browns is likely to be his final one at Heinz Field.

“I don’t ever speak in definites or guarantees, that’s just not what I’ve ever done or who I am,” Roethlisberger said on Thursday.

“But looking at the bigger picture, I would say that all signs are pointing to this could be it. Regular season, that is – I know we still have a chance to potentially get a playoff game there if things fall our way and we take care of business and things have to happen. But in the grand scheme of things, in terms of regular season, signs are pointing that way, this could be it.”

Roethlisberger has spent his entire NFL career with the Pittsburgh Steelers

Earlier this week, coach Mike Tomlin said he wasn’t interested in addressing the potential of Monday’s game serving as the final home appearance for Roethlisberger.

“I don’t know that it is going to impact anything relative to what we are intending to do or what he might intend to do,” Tomlin said.

The quarterback, who turns 40 in March, moved into fifth place on the NFL’s all-time passing yards list on December 19.
