Big Ben has a broken foot

Ben Roethlisberger apparently has a broken foot which he suffered during the game against the Buffalo Bills. The Pittsburgh Post Gazette is reporting that the Ben will play this Sunday Night against the Baltimore Ravens. Ben missed last years Sunday night game with a concussion and was called out by teammate Hines Ward. Some people, like the people at Baltimore Sun.com have called Ben a "drama queen".

This is what they had to say about Ben:

Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger might have made some adjustments in his living style, but he still likes the drama when it comes to football. It seems that every time the Ravens play the Steelers, Roethlisberger comes up with some injury. On Monday, it was the sprained foot.
As Roethlisberger limped off the field at halftime of the Steelers game against Buffalo last week, I laughed because I knew there was going to be some drama with an injury. If it wasn't going to be his foot that hurt, then it was going to be his big toe or his little finger, or his butt or a tooth. Always something.
I can understand why Roethlisberger might not want to play. He will be missing his two starting offensive tackles, and I don't think the Steelers can handle the pressure the Ravens will bring. But we all know that Big Ben will play. He'll get the ankle taped, take a pain killer and then play.
But until then, there will be a lot of drama from the Drama King all week. It wouldn't be a Pittsburgh/Baltimore week without Roethlisberger trying to grab attention by playing the injury card.- Baltimoresun.com

I find it funny that Ravens' fans are calling out Roethlisberger. Ben is 7-2 in his career against the Ravens and has won his last 5 straight starts against the Ravens. The last three games the Ravens have won over the Steelers they were facing a backup quarterback.

My thoughts are that Ben is going to play Sunday night and give a great performance. Maybe then people won't question his toughness.
