It’s been a rough few months for the Steelers.
An organization that normally doesn’t make much news, has now turned into the Kardashians of the NFL…that’s not good.
With the Antonio Brown trade complete and Le’Veon Bell agonizing over which team he’ll play for next season, it’s safe to say things are fluid right now in the Steel City.
The one constant in the Steelers organization for a near decade and a half now has been Ben Roethlisberger.
For better or worse, Big Ben and his ’52 Kids’ have won two Super Bowls during his time there.
Though ever since Antonio Brown turned his mouth loose on the Steelers, specifically Roethlisberger himself, it appears to have emboldened others who had shall we say…questionable experiences with the QB.
Case in point, ex-Steelers RB Josh Harris accused Roethlisberger of fumbling in a game on purpose back in 2014 against the Bengals.
While responding to a photo on Twitter calling Big Ben the real problem in Pittsburgh, check out what Harris responded with,
2014 week 17 we were playing the bengals. Todd Haley called a run play with very little time left in the game. Ben wanted to kneel. He rolled his eyes in the huddle. He then purposely fumbles the ball. I had to recover it. At that moment I knew what kinda person he was.

Yikes!
It’s no secret that Ben has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way during his time as QB.
From publicly throwing his teammates under the bus to his well-documented alleged transgressions off the field, it’s safe to say Ben has created some enemies over the years.
Harris takes it to another level though calling out Roethlisberger with receipts.
If nothing else, it’s going to be long offseason for Mr. Roethlisberger as it appears to be open season on the quarterback.
Flip the pages to see the play in question that Harris refers to.
