Ben Roethlisberger, Maurkice Pouncey and JuJu Smith-Schuster in tears after a tough night ends in a loss. A season that started with an 11-0 record ends with a loss in the Wild Card round.

Ben Roethlisberger and Maurkice Pouncey sit alone on Steelers bench as teammates file off the field.

Ben, Pouncey and JuJu sitting in the bench. Nobody else in the field.

Ben Roethlisberger and Maurkice Pouncey are sitting side by side on the Steelers bench. Teammates are coming up to see them.
Have to wonder if this is the end of the road for both.

Pouncey going to the Pro Bowl over Rodney Hudson is a joke. #RaiderNation
Big Ben & Pouncey getting emotional on the bench after the game

Some raw emotion from Ben on the bench w Pouncey after the loss. #Steelers

Anybody who thinks that snapping a football 5 yards behind you, while simultaneously sliding/stepping a direction and also blocking a 300 pounder is easy, should pound sand...even for all time greats like Pouncey he can have a tough one.

@steelers, pero cuando tus 2 veteranos más importantes a la ofensiva, Ben R y Maurkice Pouncey juegan como lo hicieron hoy, es difícil ganar. Aquí la imagen después del partido.

Ben Roethlisberger and Pouncey sat together on the bench a long time after everyone else had cleared the field. Finally headed into the locker room. #Steelers #dkps
https://t.co/RaNUtaZhgzJuJu Smith-Schuster just came over to Maurkice Pouncey and Ben Roethlisberger and talked to the pair. He shared a long hug with the QB.

Pouncey better than Hudson though? 🤔
Ben on Pouncey after game: “ I love that guy. Hes one of the best competitors and teammates I've ever had. It's been so much fun to share a football field with him. I hate that it ended the way it did. I wanted to win it for him." #Steelers
You can't blame Tomlin for the Pouncey snap or the 2 Ben INTs.
But dumb stuff like going for 2 I can and will.
Ben says he loves Pouncey and wanted to apologize to him after game for not winning it. #Steelers
Imagem do final do jogo com Roethlisberger e Pouncey no banco de reservas. O Center já disse que o único QB com quem ele vai jogar é Roethlisberger e, uma vez que o camisa #7 se aposente, ele vai também.

https://t.co/oIoPjdikWUThat perc was whoopin Pouncey ass all game.
Não vi o jogo praticamente, não tive estômago pra isso. Mas só de ver esse cara chorando na sideline do lado do Pouncey me cortou o coração mais do q se eu tivesse visto o jogo. Jogar mal faz parte, Big Ben vai sempre ser o meu jogador favorito e é quem me fez gostar tanto da NFL

I just watched Pouncey’s shot-put over Big Ben to open the scoring....10 times. (Every time, Conner inexplicably fails to cover the ball.) It’s going to be a long, but fun, overnight.
@BrownsLast night's opening offensive play moved Pouncey into a tie for the dubious distinction of most inaccurate snaps this season:
https://t.co/uczS0cxH4yAre pretty good, Minkah is a beast, Edmunds is dominant, Haden, Hilton and Sutton are locking down everyone, Dupree and Watt are the best duo, just a bit injured sadly :(
Villanueva, Decastro, Pouncey are one of the best oline trios I have ever seen.
@MarkKaboly I’ll go ahead and say it, Pouncey sucks and has for a while now. How many times have we seen Ben bail him out on shitty snaps
Pouncey qui bafouille et offre le TD aux Browns... Karma !
@pittjku I don’t know. I can come up with a few combinations. None of them look pretty.
Put Ben, Pouncey, DeCastro, McDonald, Haden and Williams in a hat and pick until you get to about $40 million in salary savings.
If Ben goes, it’s way fewer guys.
@ASaunders_PGH Here’s a fun fact we found to start the morning: Maurkice Pouncey had more tackles than Cam Heyward last night
