The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... Roethlisberger had an X-ray after the game but said he didn’t know the results. He said he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to play next week, but he reminded reporters that he played last year after breaking his other foot.

Diehards Line:According to the AP, Roethlisberger limped into the locker room about 20 minutes after the game with his arms draped around a pair of Steelers employees and a bandage and a bag of ice wrapped around his injured foot. He sat alone at his chair with his head down and looked to be gazing at his foot for several minutes before putting on the walking boot to limp to the showers. “You know me — if I can be out there, I’m going to be out there. That’s so for next week, too,” he said. “If I can do it and if I have to cast it up — we saw I had to do that last year. I casted up my foot for the last half of the year. If we have to do it, I’ll do it.”
