The Bengals ' backup quarterback, Jon Kitna, came in and led the Bengals to leads of 10 -- 0 and 17 -- 7. However, the 17 -- 7 lead midway through the second quarter would be the last time in the 2005 postseason that the Steelers would trail an opponent by more than three points.

Roethlisberger 's tackle on Harper, dubbed by many as The Tackle II or The Immaculate Redemption, was compared by many to `` The Immaculate Reception '' in 1972, when Franco Harris made a miraculous reception and scored the game - winning touchdown against the Oakland Raiders.

'' In 2005, Roethlisberger donated one game check to aid the tsunami relief fund. He has also donated over $100,000 to fund police dogs in Pittsburgh. Roethlisberger participated in the 2009 US Open Challenge with Michael Jordan, Justin Timberlake, and essay winner Larry Giebelhausen in a quest to break 100 on the Bethpage Black course. He shot an 81, the low of the group. In October 2014, Roethlisberger and his wife donated $1 million to his alma mater, Miami University, for an indoor sports center. Personal life Roethlisberger during the Steelers ' visit to the White House in 2009. Roethlisberger was born in Lima, Ohio, the son of Ida Jane ( née Foust ) and Kenneth Todd `` Ken '' Roethlisberger. His father is a former pitcher and quarterback at Georgia Tech. He is of part Swiss descent ; his surname, Roethlisberger ( Swiss - German spelling : Röthlisberger ), is of Swiss origin, with roots in Geissbühl, a farming hamlet in the municipality of Lauperswil, Switzerland. His younger sister, Carlee Roethlisberger, played women 's basketball for the University of Oklahoma. On July 23, 2011, Roethlisberger married Ashley Harlan, a physician assistant from New Castle, Pennsylvania. On June 9, 2012, Roethlisberger announced through his official Facebook page that he and Ashley were expecting their first child, a son, later in 2012. Benjamin Todd Roethlisberger, Jr. was born on November 21, 2012. The couple 's first daughter, Baylee Marie Roethlisberger, was born on March 19, 2014 and their second son Bodie Hunter Roethlisberger was born on May 26, 2016. Ben and Ashley decided to give Bodie the middle name of Hunter after Jim Kelly 's son who died of Krabbe Disease at the age of 8. Roethlisberger is a spokesman for Swiss Roots, a campaign intended to help Americans of Swiss origin reconnect with their Swiss ancestral heritage. In May 2006, Roethlisberger and his family traveled to Switzerland for a week. He has his own line of barbecue sauce, Big Ben 's BBQ. In 2012, Roethlisberger returned to Miami University to complete his college degree, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Education on May 6, 2012. Roethlisberger walked with the other graduates at the commencement ceremony, with his parents, grandmother, and wife Ashley in attendance. He had planned on finishing his degree sooner, but the Steelers having deep playoff runs earlier in his career prevented him from registering for classes in time for the winter term, only being able to do it after the Steelers were eliminated in the Wild Card round against the Denver Broncos the previous season. Roethlisberger became the second member of the Steelers in less than a year to return to college and complete his degree, with teammate Troy Polamalu doing the same thing the previous offseason during the 2011 NFL lockout. Roethlisberger was suspended for four games during the 2010 NFL season for violating the league 's personal conduct policy. The Steelers still ended up making it to the Super Bowl for the third time in Roethlisberger 's career, but ultimately lost to the Green Bay Packers. Off - field headlines Motorcycle accident Wikinews has related news : Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Roethlisberger hospitalized after motorcycle accident On Monday, June 12, 2006, at 11 : 17 a.m. EDT ( UTC - 4 ), Roethlisberger was involved in a motorcycle accident near the intersection of 10th Street and Second Avenue near downtown Pittsburgh, in which he was not wearing his helmet. Roethlisberger did not have a valid Pennsylvania motorcycle license at the time of the accident, only a temporary permit that he had obtained after moving to Pittsburgh which had expired in March. Roethlisberger was traveling east on Second Avenue when a Chrysler New Yorker made a left turn in front of the motorcycle and onto the South Tenth Street Bridge when the accident occurred. According to an eyewitness, Roethlisberger went over the handlebars of his bike, a 2005 Suzuki Hayabusa, shattering the windshield of the car with his head. The eyewitness reports claimed Roethlisberger tried to get up but was bleeding from the head. Reports from the scene and news media indicated that the accident was serious but `` not life - or career - threatening, '' though Roethlisberger would later relate in interviews that paramedics on the scene stopped the bleeding in his throat just in time to save his life. After the accident, the shift commander for the Allegheny County emergency service described Roethlisberger as `` alert and conscious. '' He was transported to Mercy Hospital and was described as being in `` serious but stable '' condition in the operating room. Police sources have indicated that Roethlisberger suffered fractures to the jaw and right sinus cavity, as well as a nine - inch laceration to the back of the head, the loss of two teeth, and several chipped teeth. His facial injuries were severe enough that witnesses on the scene did not immediately recognize him, even after he identified himself as `` Ben. '' Upon arriving at Mercy Hospital, he went immediately into surgery, where he remained for more than seven hours. The broken bones in his face were repaired. The subsequent news conference with the hospital staff was brief but confirmed early reports that the most serious injuries were to the head and face. There was no neck, spinal, or brain damage found. After surgery, at approximately noon on June 13, 2006, Roethlisberger was upgraded to fair condition. The most serious injuries to Roethlisberger were a broken upper and lower jaw and a broken nose. Roethlisberger was expected to make a full recovery in time for the opening game of the season. In the wake of Kellen Winslow II 's crashing of his motorcycle in May 2005, Roethlisberger had been criticized by various NFL members and the media for not wearing a helmet while riding. Even Roethlisberger 's coach, Bill Cowher, lectured him about motorcycle safety. Former Steeler Terry Bradshaw warned Roethlisberger personally when he visited the Steelers ' training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and on television, saying, `` Ride it when you retire. '' In a segment put together by ESPN following Winslow 's accident, Roethlisberger had said he did not wear a helmet because it was not required by law, adding, `` You 're just more free when you 're out there and there 's no helmet on. '' Transcripts of the interview recall Roethlisberger telling Suzy Kolber that he only rides a Harley, or his chopper with friends, not a sport bike ( like the one Winslow was on ). He also claimed to have his license. Both statements have been proven false since the accident. Roethlisberger was released from the hospital at 11 : 46 PM on June 14, 2006. The next day, he released a statement apologizing for concerning friends, family, all his fans, and the Steelers organization, and in which he also stated, `` If I ever ride again, it certainly will be with a helmet. '' On June 19, the Pittsburgh police announced that Roethlisberger would be cited for failure to wear a helmet and failure to operate in his license class. Wearing a helmet is optional in Pennsylvania only for operators who currently possess and have had a motorcycle license for at least two years. The driver of the car was cited for failure to yield the right of way. Roethlisberger gave his first television interview after the accident on July 13, with ABC 's Good Morning America. He said he was told by responding paramedics that he ruptured a major blood vessel in his mouth and was minutes away from dying. Despite the seriousness of the accident, his recovery went so well that he started the first three Steelers preseason games in 2006. Sexual assault allegations Lake Tahoe On July 17, 2009, a civil suit was filed in Washoe County, Nevada District Court accusing Roethlisberger of sexually assaulting Andrea McNulty, 31, in June 2008 in his hotel room while he was in Lake Tahoe for a celebrity golf tournament. ``. Roethlisberger is one of nine defendants listed in the docket report. McNulty could not obtain criminal charges to be filed against him due to lack of evidence, and thus no investigation was launched to obtain any possible physical evidence. Roethlisberger 's attorney denied the claim. The Lake Tahoe suit sought at least $440,000 in damages from the quarterback and also sought $50,000 in damages from Harrah 's Lake Tahoe officials, alleging that they went to great lengths to cover up the incident. According to McNulty, she was working as an executive casino host in July 2008 when she said Roethlisberger struck up a friendly conversation at her desk during the golf tournament. The next night she said Roethlisberger telephoned her to tell her that the television sound system in his room was n't working and asked her to look at it. McNulty said she determined that the TV was functioning properly, but as she turned to leave, he stood in front of the door and blocked her, then grabbed her and started to kiss her. According to the lawsuit, the woman obtained hospital treatment after the alleged attack. On August 8, 2009, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette published details of an affidavit filed as part of a motion by two of the other defendants named in the suit to relocate the case from Washoe County to Douglas County. In the affidavit, Angela Antonetti, McNulty 's former co-worker, delivered a sworn statement that McNulty had bragged to her about having consensual sex with Roethlisberger. As part of the affidavit, Antonetti said she was `` absolutely shocked '' upon hearing of the case on the radio on July 21. Antonetti explained, `` I knew that ( her ) lawsuit and false allegations would unfairly and unjustly hurt Mr. Roethlisberger ''. According to the affidavit, defendant Antonetti claimed that McNulty had revealed she was hoping she had gotten pregnant with a `` little Roethlisberger ''. Antonetti also claimed that she had been asked to travel to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in August 2008 in an attempt to `` run into '' the quarterback. In response, Antonetti advised McNulty she `` should n't try to chase Mr. Roethlisberger ''. In December 2011, the suit was ended when the parties agreed to a settlement. Details of the settlement were not made public. Milledgeville, Georgia On March 5, 2010, it was revealed that police in Milledgeville, Georgia were investigating Roethlisberger for a sexual assault inside the women 's restroom of the Capital City nightclub. The accuser, a then - 20 - year - old student at nearby Georgia College & State University, was seen at several establishments with Roethlisberger leading up to the incident, including posing for a photograph with him. Roethlisberger spoke with police the night of the incident and stated that he did have contact with the woman that was not `` consummated '' and afterward the accuser slipped and injured her head. Roethlisberger hired lawyer Ed Garland, who had previously defended Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis in his murder trial. Head coach Mike Tomlin stated at the time that he was `` highly concerned '' for the franchise and Roethlisberger. The accuser was treated at Oconee Regional Medical Center. An emergency - room doctor and two nurses examined her and noted in their report a `` superficial laceration and bruising and slight bleeding in the genital area '', but could not say if trauma or sexual assault was the cause. The remaining examination was `` normal ''. A rape kit was collected, but no semen was recovered, and the amount of male DNA found was insufficient to create a profile. The doctor 's report also quoted the alleged victim telling them that, `` A boy kind of raped me. '' In interviews with the police on the night of the incident, the woman alleged that Roethlisberger, after inviting her and her friends to the V.I.P. area of the nightclub, encouraged them to do numerous shots of alcohol before Anthony Barravecchio -- an off - duty Coraopolis, Pennsylvania policeman, undercover DEA narcotics officer at Pittsburgh International Airport, and one of Roethlisberger 's bodyguards -- stated he led her down a hallway to a stool and left. Witnesses, however, stated that Barravecchio `` placed his hand '' on the accuser 's shoulder and applied `` a little bit of pressure to guide her '' into the restroom where she claims the assault took place, something Barravecchio 's lawyer denies. After Barravecchio 's purported departure, Roethlisberger allegedly approached, exposed himself, and despite the woman 's protests, followed her into what turned out to be a bathroom when she tried to leave through the first door she saw. The woman claims Roethlisberger then raped her. It is further alleged that friends of the woman attempted to intervene out of worry, but the second of Roethlisberger 's bodyguards, Edward Joyner -- an off - duty Pennsylvania State Trooper -- avoided eye contact and said he did not know what they were talking about. The policemen claimed to `` have no memory '' of meeting the woman. Milledgeville Police Sergeant Jerry Blash, who had posed for a photograph with Roethlisberger earlier in the evening, was the first officer to respond. At the scene, he made a comment about the accuser to Barravecchio : `` We have a problem, this drunken ( expletive ), drunk off her ass, is accusing Ben of rape. '' Blash later admitted denigrating the accuser and never formally questioning Roethlisberger ; he did speak to the NFL player and his off - duty police bodyguards at the Capital City club, but according to Blash 's own report, Roethlisberger was hardly engaged and spent most of the time on his phone. On April 12, 2010, district attorney Fred Bright held a press conference to announce that Roethlisberger would not be charged. Bright said `` looking at all the evidence here, I can not prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt ''. Furthermore, the accuser wrote to the D.A. through her lawyer expressing she no longer wanted to pursue criminal charges because the level of media attention would make a criminal trial too `` intrusive '' of a personal experience. The letter stressed that she was not recanting her accusation. As a result of the unabridged details revealed in Bright 's press conference, reaction was swift. Steelers president Art Rooney II was reported to be `` furious ''. The owner of Pittsburgh - based PLB Sports, which marketed `` Big Ben 's Beef Jerky '', terminated the company 's five - year sponsorship of Roethlisberger, the first such action in the company 's 14 - year history. Jerry Blash finally resigned from the Milledgeville Police on April 15, 2010. Anthony Barravecchio was never disciplined in the incident, despite a local investigation where the Coraopolis Solicitor reviewed the 500 - page Georgia Bureau of Investigation file on the matter. Roethlisberger was among the celebrities lampooned in the 14th - season premiere of the Comedy Central animated series South Park, appearing in a rehabilitation class for `` sex addicts '' along with David Letterman, Bill Clinton, and others. Titled `` Sexual Healing '', the episode aired shortly after the second accusation of sexual assault was made against Roethlisberger. 2010 suspension On April 21, 2010, the NFL 's Commissioner Roger Goodell announced that Roethlisberger would be suspended without pay for the first six games of the 2010 season due to a violation of the NFL 's personal conduct policy. Roethlisberger was ordered to undergo a league - mandated `` professional behavior evaluation '' and `` must adhere to any counseling or treatment that is recommended by the professional evaluators. '' The suspension was subsequently reduced to four games. In popular culture The `` Roethlisburger '' Peppi 's restaurant, home of the `` Roethlisburger ''. The `` # 7 Roethlisburger ''. Roethlisberger is the namesake to multiple sandwiches, which are usually named using a pun on his last name 's similarity to `` hamburger ''. For instance, Pittsburgh restaurant chain Peppi 's sells the `` Roethlisburger '', at a price of $7.00, in correlation with his jersey number `` 7 '', and also having ingredients that describes his playing style ( scrambled eggs for ' scrambler ', beef and sausage for his size and strength ). A Findlay, Ohio, restaurant named Tony 's and an Oxford, Ohio, restaurant named Brick Street also sell `` Roethlisburger '' sandwiches. He has appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman, after both of his Super Bowl victories. At the 2006 Grammy Awards, one week after Pittsburgh won Super Bowl XL, Roethlisberger introduced Kelly Clarkson. In 2009, he hosted WWE Raw. He, along with other Steelers players, made a cameo appearance as a member of the Gotham Rogues football team, in the 2012 film The Dark Knight Rises.
