Ben Roethlisberger will face the Cleveland Browns for the 30th time in his career on “Monday Night Football.”
This matchup will most likely be Roethlisberger’s last time facing the Browns since he is predicted to retire after the 2021-22 season. Out of the Steelers’ AFC North opponents, Roethlisberger has won the most games against the Browns.
Playing the Browns has always been interesting for Roethlisberger since he’s originally from Lima, Ohio, which is less than three hours from Cleveland, and he attended Miami University in Ohio. When he played his last game in Cleveland, he got a huge round of applause since Cleveland is somewhat of a hometown field for him.
