Ben Roethlisberger threw three interceptions in Sunday's loss to the Bengals at Heinz Field.

Good riddance.

That’s what Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had to say about the first half of the 2015 season.

“We’re closing the chapter on the first half of the season,” Roethlisberger said this morning before practice. “That’s a good thing. We can move on. We don’t have to talk about it. There were some negatives in that first half. We can close it, move forward and be our best self going forward now.”

The Steelers lost their All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell in the final game of the first half of the season Sunday. Bell injured his knee and is out for the rest of the year.

Bell is the third offensive starter to suffer a major injury this season. Left tackle Kelvin Beachum was lost for the season with a major knee injury, and All-Pro center Maurkice Pouncey is likely out for the season with a leg injury.

“It’s unfortunate,” said Roethlisberger, who played for the first time in a month in the 16-10 loss to the Bengals after a knee injury forced him to miss four games. “When I talk to you guys at the beginning of the season everyone always asks: What’s the key to the season? I always say staying healthy...

Something different needs doing because the injuries have become worse and season killing.

I don't know how you can blame the ones we've got on anything other than bad luck. Something like Woodley being out of shape and always hurting his hamstring you can maybe chalk up to conditioning, or Greg Oden having bad knees you can chalk up to being injury-prone. Having a dude crash into your leg and bend it sideways you have no control over. It just sucks, and for some reason has been happening over and over this year.

Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers: Brace yourself (See what I did there? Brace? Whatever. This is too good for the likes of you) if you face Big Ben this week because he's about to go there. See? I'm not only hilarious but super-current too. Whatever delusions I have, you shouldn't ignore the fact that he's at home (where he has averaged more than 340 passing yards a game since the start of last season) going against an Oakland secondary that is traveling east for a 1 p.m. game and is 29th against the pass the past five weeks. Only one QB has failed to score at least 17 points against Oakland (and that includes the Ryan Fitzpatrick/Geno Smith combo). Ben is my No. 1 QB this week.
