Big Ben's Fever Wasn't 104 Degrees

TSN.ca - Ben Roethlisberger had flu-like symptoms during the game that were unrelated to the appendectomy. Bill Cowher said reports that his quarterback had a 104-degree fever were erroneous and that, in fact, Roethlisberger's temperature was 100.4. Roethlisberger completed 17 of 32 passes for 141 yards and threw two interceptions.
