Ben Roethlisberger (ribs) expects to play for Steelers Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (ribs) fully expects to play Week 15 against the New England Patriots on Sunday.

What It Means:

"No, no, I don’t think so," Roethlisberger replied when asked if there was any reason he would not play versus the Patriots. He missed some time in the Steelers' loss to the Oakland Raiders this past Sunday, but head coach Mike Tomlin seemed to indicate that it's more of a pain-management issue.
