Ben Roethlisberger was emotional Monday night after beating the Cleveland Browns 26-14.

It’s widely-believed that Big Ben’s final home game with the Steelers was Monday night and while there’s been no official announcement, pretty much everyone expects him to retire. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

After earning a huge win, the two-time Super Bowl champion had to fight back his emotions, and it was a touching moment for fans.

You can watch him on the edge of crying in the video below.

If it’s the end of the road for Big Ben, then he had a hell of a career and finished his final home game with a win over a rival.

It really doesn’t get much better than that.

While there’s been no official announcement on what Big Ben will do, I think his reaction in the video above says it all.

If he planned on attempting to continue playing, he wouldn’t be on the verge of tears.
