Ex-Ravens Coach Says Roethlisberger Is "A Drama Queen" About Injuries

DENVER (KDKA) - Ouch! Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is being called out for supposedly hamming up his injuries.

Brian Billick, a former coach for the Ravens, thinks that while Big Ben is tough, he's not afraid to lament his pain.

"There's no one tougher than Ben Roethlisberger by far in the NFL, but he's a drama queen," Billick told Denver's 104.3 The Fan on Thursday, via FOXSports.com. "He's gonna come out on that field. That arm's gonna be limp. It's going to look like he can't even lift it. Then he's going to crank off a 60-yard bomb to Martavis Bryant. Then he'll carry it back into the huddle, holding it like it's in a sling, and then he'll crank off a 40-yarder to Antonio Brown."
