The touchdown to Santonio Holmes is still one of the greatest plays I ever seen

[@Nahuelero123]

Arguably the best play in football history. It literally won a superbowl.

[@Cheryl62928]

Yes indeed!!!

[@bethjohnson5725]

Ben...I became a Steelers fan during your rookie year. It has been such an honor and pleasure watching you these last 18 seasons. Thank you for everything you've done for the Steelers. You will truly be missed #7! 🖤💛🖤💛

[@david-gu1fq]

Same and it's going to be very different watching anyone else at qb for a team I've followed for almost 2 decades.

[@bethjohnson5725]

@@david-gu1fq Yes it will definitely be different with a new QB.

[@chrisdean7215]

Same here I remember when I was 9 years old I saw him get drafted by Pittsburgh I was a Steelers fan before him but after his first season I became a die hard Steelers fan still can't believe he is really retired we will miss you and thank you for everything you have done 🖤💛🖤💛💯👏👏

[@israelperez6277]

Same 🙌. I remember sitting in the gym with my dad because we didn’t have a TV watching Big Ben for the first time and just in awe. Ever since that loss to the Patriots in overtime his rookie season, I never looked back. He was the sole reason I became a Steelers fan and Never looked back

[@kristinowens899]

I can't even begin to imagine Steelers Football without him. Thanks for it all Ben!

[@elbob17]

I'm excited to see what's next. I grew up on David Woodley, Cliff Stoudt, Mark Malone and Bubby B so I'm ready for anything.

[@justanaveragehaunter1210]

It’s not even funny how much I miss him

Shed a few tears, damn sad to see him go. But grateful I got to witness him play every game

[@MRulli427]

Thank you Ben

[@luisvalenzuela7585]

The memories that he gave my family and I as Steelers fans will forever be in my heart. Thank you Big Ben you will always be my favorite quarterback. From Mexico, we love you!!❤️

Man its gonna be hard to watch and not see 7 out there...ty Ben for all the good years

[@JacobPMendoza]

I’m not a Steelers fan, but Big Ben is apart of my childhood. Congratulations on a legendary career to one of the greatest QB’s of all time. Enjoy retirement 7.

[@DjD422-]

Thank you 7 we love you 🤟🤟🤟

[@volumeturneddown9600]

Roethlisberger practically redefined what it means to be a Pittsburgh Steeler. He didn't always do the right thing, or say the right thing, just like all of us. But he gave everything he had to win games and rings, and the Steelers were never out of the fight with him under center. He was an inspiration to Steeler fans everywhere.

[@MMMHOTCHEEZE]

Did he though?

[@joemiller2205]

@@MMMHOTCHEEZE …you think after watching his career highlights/story/legacy that he didn’t give everything he had? That’s the only thing you could be referring to. The dude has every steeler record ever and top 5 to top 10 all time in the nfl for almost every stat. Hell he played through breaking his nose against the Ravens to win the game, as well as numerous other injuries. Is that maybe what you’re referring to, not being able to play to 100% over the years playing through injuries and old age? Just remember who our backups have been in the years when he’s played through injury. It’s been a long time since Batch, Vick, Leftwich etc were the backups and we had a fighting chance without Ben. Towards the latter half of his career we’ve had backups like Mason, Duck, Jones, Dobbs. Like the original comment said, any time Ben was out there, it felt like we had a chance to win. Example: Ben wasn’t starting due to a foot injury against the Browns in 2015. Vick was injured too and they started Landry Jones. Everyone felt like we were going to be doomed with Landry in and wanted Ben to play through the foot/ankle injury because he was listed as active. Then Landry went down and couldn’t play, and an injured Ben won the game as a backup QB throwing almost 400 yards and 3 TDs. Always a good chance with Ben on the field.

[@MMMHOTCHEEZE]

@@joemiller2205 In his early years sure. But he's been pretty dogshit now for at least a decade.

[@steelersovereverything9609]

He’s been our QB for my entire adulthood, came in the league in 2004, the same year that I turned 18 years old. He’s my QB, always will be. Thank you Ben!! 1st ballot Hall of Famer. I know he’s going to take the time to spend with his family and do ministry work now, but man would I love to have him on that coaching staff. 🖤💛

[@franthevan65]

It’s been a honor Big Ben. Thank you for a life worth of memories

[@Gymmafia88]

As a life long Steelers Fan. Thank you 7 for 18 great seasons. We will never have another 7. Enjoy retirement.

[@skeleguns10oooooo10]

Some legends spend their entire career playing for one team. And Ben is one of them

[@CallMeMicahT]

I’ll never forget my friend walking in with a Roethlisberger jersey after he was drafted, and watching him become a legend. So thankful to be a Steeler fan. He was the definition of greatness

[@nmpride5054]

Thank you Ben!!! I'm going to miss you!! You are a Legend, GOAT!!!! 🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛

[@Nahuelero123]

I know Bradshaw had 4 superbowls, but in my honest opinion, Big Ben is the greatest Steeler of all time. All the records, the 50+ comebacks, the 3 SB appearances, all of that stuff is nice, but what I’m taking with me for the rest of my life, is the NEVER giving up until the clock hits 0, and always finding a way to win, ugly or pretty, for him, it was always about winning. Thank you #7. Thank you for being a Pittsburgh Steeler your whole career. The best city in the world, and the best team in history.

[@blitzzzburgh77]

*Ben Roethlisberger there have been MANY TIMES that you have showed US as Steelers Fans your HEART but for me it was vs the Browns in December 2011. When I saw the leg injury at the end of the second half where it looked SO BAD almost to the point of a season or career ending injury I was crushed!!! But then I saw you come back on the field ready to play after halftime I cried like a baby & INSTANTLY KNEW that you were one of the GREATEST Steeler's QB's in HISTORY to EVER put on a Steelers Uniform PERIOD!!! Thank You Ben for giving US as Steelers Fans some of the GREATEST Years of OUR lives watching and cheering for YOU and the BLACK & GOLD!!! Steelers Nation 4 Life!!! We Bleed Black & Gold!!!*

[@StevieObieYT]

It's a sad day for us all to see a legend retire. Well played, Big Ben! 🔥

[@wolfeman9791]

If he wanted to retire I am fine with that I'm just sad that he didn't win more than two Super Bowls definitely deserve more than that I just can't see watching the Steelers without him thank you Ben for an amazing ride

[@gunpuppy3533]

2017 was his chance to get a third but the defense lost the sole of their shoe and was never the same. 38 points to Blake Bortles smfh.

[@michaelgarza1302]

Growing up a Cowboys fan I have so much respect for the Steelers Orginization, let alone a Big Ben fan because of my grandparents. They never watched sports but for some reason they love watching Big Ben, Troy Polamalu, and The Terrible Towel on television. My grandfather never got to see his idol finish with 18 great seasons but watching him this year and these videos made me think about him and wonder what would he we feel and say if I were to show this to him. Thank you Big Ben! God bless!

[@patriciayohn6136]

Yes, but our Big Ben is also now the most sacked QB, but he took those hits and wasn't a wimp like Brady and Rogers when they get hit! Thank you, Ben and enjoy your retirement, you earned it!

[@gregplitt6629]

Love you 7. Wanted one more year…. Thank you BEN!

[@TheLoloaze]

I'm sad i won't ever be able to see him play in person 😞 but when i'll be at heinz field i'll definitely think of #7 ! Thank you for everything Ben, coming from Steeler Nation from France 💛🖤

[@nickbarcheck1019]

When you threw that ball to Holmes at the end of Super Bowl 43, I cried tears of joy. I scheduled my life around Steelers games. I was 8 when you were drafted. I grew up with you. You're the only "celebrity" I ever cared about. I love you, Ben. Thanks for the memories.

[@mjx_0726]

Feels like the official end of my childhood. I'll miss you Ben. Thanks for 18 years.

[@mikeakey3358]

I'm most proud of Ben rediscovering his faith... Ok, maybe a little more proud of never feeling "out of the game" as he was slinging it in the 4th, but you get my drift.💯

[@gkneppy6474]

Ben Roethlisberger was amazing. Loved the game!

[@nobodyaskedbut]

Big Ben was the most complete QB of this century. He was the toughest QB of this century and he was the best "football player" to play regular QB in this century. He was also the king of the 4th qtr comeback as he was the only QB ever to accomplish all of the following: (1) Lead the NFL in 4th qtr comebacks in 4 seasons. (2) Make at least 4 4th qtr comebacks in 4 seasons. (3) Make at least one 4th qtr comeback in each of his 1st 15 seasons in the NFL. Oh, and he also just happened to be this century's greatest play maker. He is the only merger era (since 1970) 2-time super bowl winning QB to finish his career with at least 7.6 pass Y/A for his regular season career and at least 7.6 pass Y/A for his post season career. Most coaches consider Y/A the single most telling passing stat.

[@Sneakycat1971]

The Steelers will be lucky if they can find another franchise quarterback in the next 10 years. They will be up against some of the best young QB's in the league just in the AFC . They should concentrate on building the best defense and offensive line they can. Teams have won the SB without a hall of Fame QB.

[@brucewatkins2779]

Amen!!! Big Ben***** I Such A GREAT Person, Not Only On The FIELD…But, So Much Off The Field…He Has Built His Legacy With The STEELERS and The NFL***** So Many Records Belong To Him**** He Will Be Missed but, Not Forgotten!!!

[@gkneppy6474]

Ben was an underated beast!!!!

[@joemiller2205]

Thank you Ben! So grateful to have become a Steelers fan a couple years before you were drafted when I was a kid. You were drafted when I was 13 years old, just starting to really understand the game and brought so much happiness and excitement into my world. The Steelers became my life, I was obsessed lol. My room was decked out in Steelers gear as a kid and the year they won the Super Bowl my Dad took me on a trip to PA to see a prime time game in person. Ben and the Steelers are the reason for my love of football and football season is always the thing I look forward to most every year, and I’m so excited to pass that on to my daughter now. She’ll never get to sit there and yell “cmon Ben!” as you lead the team on a game winning drive in the 4th when she’s old enough to understand but because you played this last season I have a video of her sitting there with me yelling “let’s go Ben!” (which is amazing because she’s not even 3 and I hadn’t said let’s go Ben in over 5 minutes 😂) Again thank you so much for putting your body on the line for Steeler Nation, we’ll never forget the almost 2 decades of amazing football you gave us! I’m 20 minutes from Canton so you better believe I’ll be there for the induction!

[@arthurdanu1809]

Incredible career! Watched him all the way from a rookie, and never ever doubted he was The Man, all the way to his last year. Just wish Antonio and LeVeon could have stayed with him for a few years longer so that he could match Terry Bradshaw and that great 70's team for Super Bowl victories. Those Steeler teams from the first decade of the 2000's were the best show in football! Thanks for all the great performances and memories. Would love to see Big Ben coaching on the sidelines or chatting it up in a TV booth one day, too!

Hope he comes back to the Steelers as a coach!!! Or a OC!!!

Ben gave me hope as a Steelers fan. No disrespect to Kordell Stewart & Maddox they did what they could. But I lost interest in Football and that 2005 Super Bowl made me fall in love with the game all over again. You were the hardest QB to take down. Steelers nation loves you!!

[@HeyImPoop]

Roethlisberger is tied w/ Brady/Brees for #2 all-time in game-winning drives w/ 53 (Manning #1 w/ 54) His top seasons: 3. 2017+2020 (4) 2. 2004+2008 (5) 1. 2021 (7) Always gave the Steelers a chance - even when he was doubted most. A winner, until the very end. #ThankYouBen

[@glennhalila8279]

I'm a Cincinnati Bengals Fan, (most Bengals Fans don't like Ben or the Steelers), however I was a Big Ben Roethlisberger Fan when he went to Miami of Ohio and I knew that his College Quarterback Football Championship Caliber Play would lead him to a Legend in the NFL. When he went to the Steelers Franchise, I knew that the Bengals were in TROUBLE. I knew that it was gonna be hard to beat the Steelers with Ben Roethlisberger as their Quarterback. My Niece Megan went to School with him and one of her Majors @ Miami of Ohio was Physical Education and she helped the Football Team out and developed a comeradery with Ben. He lost his first game and won the rest of his Junior year and was undefeated his Senior Year and followed the same path to the NFL and won 13 straight. What the film didn't mention is that he was injured and I believe that's the only reason why they didn't go on to win a Super Bowl his Rookie Year. He may have broken the Dolphins Record that year. Me and my Nephew went to Tampa when they played the Arizona Cardinals and we were rooting for the Steelers to win. Most people in Cincinnati Ohio don't like Big Ben or at least most Bengals Fans, but I've never been a Hater. Naturally I always rooted for the Bengals when they played against each other, but as far as Good Sportsmanship goes and for my love for the Game of Football, Ben Roethlisberger is one of the Greatest Quarterbacks of all time. There's less than a handful of Great Quarterbacks who accomplished what he has done. He deserves to be recognized and inducted into the Hall of Fame as soon as he's eligible. Nobody can dispute his Greatness as a Great Quarterback. The Statistics also speak for themselves as well

[@jessv221]

GOAT

[@damonc338]

The TD he throws to Holmes, the TD Ben throws to Wallace against the Packers for the W, ALL the great games against the Ravens, He played against the Browns with one leg and lit them up, Broken nose against the Ravens. He promised Bus a trophy after just his first season after they fell short to Brady. But my fondest memories of Ben is my Grandma yelling " god dammit Ben throw the ball away" I'm thankful he got to go out on his sword and in his last game I couldn't help but smile thinking of her. I will defend Ben until I'm blue in the face and if there was less then 2 minutes and we needed him to show up (even if he hadn't been there the whole game) I always felt like we were going to win.

[@georgecoull1883]

Hall of Fame first ballot no doubt 💯 greatest Steelers QB ever and I think Terry Bradshaw would agree
