The two-time Super Bowl champion played his final NFL game against Mahomes and the Chiefs during the 2021 AFC Wild Card game.<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Chiefs Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/chiefswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/chiefs\/2025\/07\/05\/ben-roethlisberger-prefers-another-qb-over-kansas-city-chiefs-patrick-mahomes\/84400888007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Ben Roethlisberger prefers another QB over Chiefs&#039; Patrick Mahomes;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Ben Roethlisberger prefers another QB over Chiefs&#8217; Patrick Mahomes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes&#8217; success and popularity have recently elevated him to the top of many&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":183214,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2063],"tags":[1586,6594,346,7,118,110,2438,2437,6,499,57,1257,8551],"class_list":{"0":"post-183213","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-kansas-city-chiefs","8":"tag-aaron-rodgers","9":"tag-ben-roethlisberger","10":"tag-chiefs","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-kansas-city","13":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs","14":"tag-kansascity","15":"tag-kansascitychiefs","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-patrick-mahomes","18":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers","19":"tag-quarterback","20":"tag-super-bowl-champion"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114800355366460711","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183213\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
