Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger to Return in Second Half

Roethlisberger lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to their first touchdown of the game before heading to the locker room.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger took a hit from Dallas Cowboys' rookie Neville Gallimore that ended his half early. The 38-year-old quarterback limped off to the locker room after landing awkwardly on his left knee with just over a minute remaining in the second quarter.
