However, coach Tomlin was always confident that Roethlisberger would do fine on Sunday despite missing practice last week. He said, “There was less anxiety, in terms of dealing with him in these circumstances, maybe than some of the other circumstances he and I have been in in the past, where his health was a factor in terms of availability.
“His health was not a factor, so we had very little reservations about his ability to perform once we got him to the stadium.”
