Big Ben ban reduced to 4 games
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had his six game suspension reduced to just four games by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
Big Ben was actually expected to go into the meeting asking Goodell to reduce the suspension from six games to just three, but it remains unconfirmed whether this actually happened.
Reducing the suspension by one game would have allowed Roethlisberger to take the field against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4, which would have been huge for the team.
Instead, Goodell stuck with his original plan, which was to reduce the suspension by two games if he felt Roethlisberger was working to change his life.
Goodell has said on a few occasions that he believes Roethlisberger has gone above and beyond to make significant changes in his life and become a better person.
