Video: Big Ben, Emmanuel Ogbah Get Into Skirmish Following INT
Big Ben Roethlisberger’s Pittsburgh Steelers came away as 3-point winners over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, but the grizzled veteran QB didn’t do it without some struggles along the way. In fact, if not for All-Pro receiver Antonio Brown, he might’ve taken the L.
Ben was just 13 of 25 to players not named Brown and that included an awful INT in the fourth quarter that left him exposed as a defender on the field. As a result of his ugly toss, former OSU defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah took that as an opportunity to throw a block at the towering QB, who did not receive the physicality too kindly.

The official on the field had to break up the two in the mini-skirmish, and while a flag should have been thrown on Roethlisberger for his illegal tackle (and low target on Ogbah’s money-makers!), there was no ruling — only a 29-yard INT return that stood on the field and kept Cleveland in the game.
Cleveland fell short, 21-18, but Ogbah did log 1 tackle and 1 pass deflection in the effort, albeit a losing one.
