I was hearing that if the Ravens won tonight that Pittsburgh would probably start Big Ben tomorrow, but it looks like they will be able to let him rest.

I think you may have that backwards. With the Ravens losing today, a Steelers win could give them the division and the #1 seed. Those are definite reasons to try hard to win so IMO they will put Roethlisberger in.

Nah this morning on NFL Network the talk in the locker room was they'd HAVE to start him if the Ravens won because they would need to go all out for the win to stay in the playoff race. If the Ravens lost then it wouldn't be as pressing because they still think they can win with the backup and would rather he be rested if possible.

Well if they put him in against the 49ers they have a much better chance of winning that game, especially since they have such a good defense. If they beat the 49ers, they could win their last 2 games with their backup and give Roethlisberger 3 weeks off to rest.

Maybe I misheard them but we'll see. I think he'll start either way.
