    Hmm... legit? Or just Big Ben trying to boost himself up a bit after that performance? Interesting...

    They talked about this the day before the game and Tomlin said it was legit. Roethlisberger said its no big deal when asked about it IIRC.

    He's always hurt. It serves his "new kids on the block" tough guy image.

    I really feel like this is just a lie to make his performance more impressive. If this was indeed the case, they would have made it a big deal during the 20+ hours of SB coverage lol.

    Seeing some of the hits he was taking throughout the season I wouldnt be surprised if it was legit. The guy is actually a tough kid. If it wasnt showing on xrays though, the pain was most likely more distraction than anything.

    If you played behind that O line you'd always be hurt too. lol

    The x-rays were negative and it showed up on an MRI after the Superbowl.

    Whatever.
