The NFL is checked into if Ben Roethlisberger was using his cell phone during Thursday nights game. Fans across the league pointed out that during the game Big Ben can be see looking down at what appears to be a cell phone. Use of a cell phone during the game a strict violation of NFL rules and subject to fine or suspension.
Now we know that the league investigated quickly and determined that it was a wristband playbook Big Ben was looking at. So no fine or suspension for Big Ben.
Real-time info for you… @gregaiello says league ops did go to sideline to investigate and took a photo of what Roethlisberger was handling
