[Bathroom Reading] Steel City Shaken; Player Hit With PED Ban

In a stunning follow-up announcement to the day's earlier news of suspensions sweeping over the Carolina Panthers, new details are emerging from sources that indicate Steelers quarterback 'Big Ben' Roethlisberger is going to be the latest player facing league mandated discipline for violating the league's performance enhancing drug policy.

The word coming from the league office has the suspension as two games which means their long-time quarterback will be missing match-ups against the division rival Ravens and the soaring 9-2 Chiefs.

At a pitiful record of 3-9, this season was a lost cause for the Steelers, but to have one of their players, their face of the franchise no less, become embroiled in this ongoing segment of PED scandals in the league is a harsh slap in the face to a proud organization.

While this controversy may spell the end for Big Ben that can not be dwelled upon by Mike Tomlin's coaching staff as they must now take a look at both of their backups quarterbacks and assess their best option moving forward for the length of the suspension and however long they'll need to afterwards. Both Landry Jones and Zach Dysert will be competing for the job in practice leading up to the game, a continuation of their constant competition to be the backup ever since they were drafted in 2013 in the 4th and 7th rounds, respectively. It should be interesting to see how the quarterback competition shakes out, as it might just be the result we get to see play out for years to come.

What the heck?? Why is my QB getting suspended? Is this just like a random drawing or something?

500 yards, 7 TDs, and a 30+ victory against the CPU is a deadly combination that resulted in this.

Hmmmm, okay I see. I didn't look at the CPU limits, and didn't know that's how you handled things. My apologies man!
