Ben Roethlisberger is ruled out for Sunday Night...

Fox Sports Reports...
The Pittsburgh Steelers are turning to Plan B.

The Steelers are sitting Ben Roethlisberger out of Sunday's division matchup with the Ravens and Dennis Dixon will get the start, FOXSports.com has learned.
Big Ben was suffering from exercise-induced headaches as the week progressed and the team's medical staff deemed him unfit for the contest.

The NFL this week launched a new initiative on concussions and is clearly trying to take a more conservative approach when it comes to head trauma.


Going to be tough to beat Baltimore with out him huh?

Stranger things have happened and Baltimore's offense is no juggernaut.
Sucks though as I was looking forward to watching this one.

No chance Pitt can win this game. If it was Batch, they'd have a shot. But Dixon is going to panic in the face of the Ravens D.

are you kidding me? pitt is completely dependent on the pass they never even try to run the ball consistently and now they got this randle-el wanna be starting. ravens win even if their O doesn't score. this scrub is gonna run around with it. the ravens have no problem with QBs that like to get outside, its the pocket passers that hurt.
