PITTSBURGH — Following 18 long seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who dominated the Browns over the course of his career, officially announced his retirement on Thursday morning, posting a video on his Twitter account.
Roethlisberger played his final home game at Heinz Field against the Cleveland Browns and his final regular season road game against the Baltimore Ravens, winning both and landing a Wild Card playoff spot. Pittsburgh went on to lose to the Kansas City Chiefs, ending their season and Roethlisberger's career.
Roethlisberger went on to terrorize the Browns year after year, recording a 26-3-1 record against Cleveland. Until Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield surpassed it, Roethlisberger had held the record for most wins by a quarterback in FirstEnergy Stadium.Roethlisberger went on to lead the Steelers to two Super Bowl titles, eight division titles and 165 regular season wins, finishing fifth all time in passing yards and completions.
In 2009, Roethlisberger was accused of raping a woman in his hotel room at a Lake Tahoe casino the prior summer. Roethlisberger denied the allegations repeatedly for years, and the lawsuits were settled out of court in 2012.
