The Philadelphia Eagles preyed upon Ben Roethlisberger last night, giving him the roughest outing in the three preseason games to date. The Eagles bounced the Steelers' quarterback around and shut his offense out.
Roethlisberger was sacked once, intercepted once and knocked to the ground four times in two series of work at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The Eagles went on to beat the Steelers, 16-7, keeping them winless so far this summer.
Despite the beating Roethlisberger took, coach Bill Cowher cited his quarterback and halfback Willie Parker as two players who, perhaps above all, are in good form as September looms.
"I'm very confident where those two guys are," Cowher said
