Ben Roethlisberger, who faced the 49ers in Week 15 on an injured ankle, believes the team may have targeted his weak joint. The quarterback played poorly as Pittsburgh lost. "Um, wow, that's tough," Roethlisberger said in an interview when asked if he felt a team ever tried to injure him. "I don't really complain about that stuff, either. But I think when we played San Fran, I felt like there were some things going on, some extra ... Now, obviously, I did have the ankle and I was playing, so there was kind of a bull's-eye on there anyway. But for the most part, guys play tough and you go into a game expecting it. I expect to be tougher than them."
