TAMPA, Fla.
Charlie Batch doesn’t pretend to be a savior. His job is to help Pittsburgh continue winning while Ben Roethlisberger is on suspension, and the 35-year-old quarterback just wants to do his part.

“These opportunities don’t come often right now,” the 13-year veteran said Sunday after making his first start in nearly three years and helping the Steelers remain unbeaten with a 38-13 rout of the Buccaneers.

“Everybody knows Ben’s the starter,” Batch added. “One thing I didn’t want to do was be that weak link, to go out there and not be able to provide a spark or put this team in the end zone.”................
