A week later, Big Ben has wild conspiracy about Bengals' Steelers win

The Cincinnati Bengals are on to the New York Jets in Week 8, though it seems that over in Pittsburgh, the Steelers and those around them are still on the Bengals.

Joe Flacco’s Bengals beat the Steelers in primetime roughly a week ago to keep the season alive in the hopes of a Joe Burrow return, also suggesting that the AFC North is still very much up for grabs.

Big names like former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger still have plenty to say on the major upset under the national spotlight, though.

On his “Footbahlin” podcast, Big Ben threw out an almost conspiracy theory sort of take, suggesting that the Bengals’ white jerseys and paint on the field during the “whiteout” event led to an Aaron Rodgers interception.

A clip of Big Ben’s comments:

Said jokingly or not, Rodgers is a future Hall of Famer, so it’s hard to imagine that one of the most common jersey colors in the league suddenly caused major issues for him at this stage of his career.

More notable than anything else, it seems, is the fact those in the Steelers’ orbit are still talking about the Bengals at all. The AFC North is wide open for now and the Bengals and Steelers meet again soon in Week 11 on November 16 in Pittsburgh.
