Roethlisberger Confirms He Had
X-Rays 'Somewhere'

Ben RoethlisbergerAs part of NBC's fortnight-long Super Bowl pregame show, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger told Andrea Kramer that he did, in fact, have X-rays "somewhere" on his body.

This only becomes important news if, say, Roethlisberger takes a shot on his ribs -- the area on his body commonly believed to be the mystery X-ray spot. Roethlisberger's been banged-up since his scary hit in Week 17 against Cleveland, and the Ravens (as the Ravens do) put a pounding on him in the AFC title game two weeks back.

Throughout his career, Roethlisberger's shown an ability to play injured, so long as the situation is not serious, so it would take another punishing shot for Pittsburgh to resort to Byron Leftwich.
