PITTSBURGH (AP) – Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis knows how badly suspended Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger wishes he could play in Sunday’s AFC North rivalry game.
Roethlisberger told him so.
Lewis told Pittsburgh reporters on a conference call Wednesday that he exchanged text messages this week with Roethlisberger, who regrets he can’t play in a game that will decide the division leader.
Roethlisberger’s four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy doesn’t end until next week.
The Ravens (2-1) and Steelers (3-0) have one of the NFL’s strongest rivalries. Lewis said he sent Roethlisberger text messages of encouragement while the league was weighing last spring whether to discipline the quarterback.
