PITTSBURGH – With Ben Roethlisberger (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=4835663) enjoying a breakout season of sorts, many within the Steelers organization viewed these playoffs as a chance for their quarterback to get his due as one of the game’s elite.
The thinking behind the front lines a couple of weeks ago went something like this:
