Ben Roethlisberger brings Steelers fans good tidings and great news for the holidays. After wishing Merry Christmas to his followers, Roethlisberger vowed to return to the field in 2020.

“Contrary to recent reports out there about my football future and my ‘uncertainty’ about playing again, I am working hard and am more determined than ever to come back stronger and better than ever next year!,” Roethlisberger tweeted.
At one point, there were rumblings that the QB had some doubts about playing again. But, earlier this week, ESPN.com’s Chris Mortensen heard the Steelers are confident that Roethlisberger will make a full recovery.
Mason Rudolph and Devlin Hodges held down the fort for the Steelers this year, with mixed results. Rudolph’s shoulder injury landed him on IR earlier this week, so the Steelers will be hitching their playoff hopes to Duck’s wagon in their Week 17 matchup against the Ravens.
Roethlisberger was sharp in 2018 with career-highs in completions (452), pass attempts (675), passing yards (5,129), and touchdowns (34). He also started in all 16 games, something he hadn’t done since the 2014 campaign. On the other hand, he led the NFL with 16 interceptions.
Hope he comes back and is terrible.

Wouldn’t expect anything else considering your name.
Which part gave you these expectations? Kentucky, the Red Sox, or the #17?
My expectations for humans are pretty simple. One of them is don’t rape.
Ha
Pfffft
Ky,
He’s gonna come back everyone will realize how much the Steelers missed him. However this proves they can’t get a #2 ready.
Hate on him all you want he’s got rings all you’ve got is this room!!
Great news for the rest of the AFC North
because Hodges and Rudolph are so good…
I have JuJu in a keeper league so this is great news
I bet the Steelers go deep into the playoffs next year if everyone can stay healthy.
His grammar is driving me crazy.
I guess all of those people who bought duck calls wasted their money.
Shortest bandwagon ride ever.
Those fans need to get all proactive and declare Roethlisberger’s nickname to be Duck.
Bizarre photo. Is Ben having a tampon malfunction?
