Roethlisberger reflected how it wasn't necessarily a perfect send-off—he finished 24-of-46 for 123 yards, one touchdown and one interception—but that the victory trumped everything:

The 39-year-old hasn't definitively said he's retiring but acknowledged in the buildup to the game that he was more likely than not going to walk away.

"Looking at the bigger picture, I would say all signs are pointing to this could be it—regular season, that is," he told reporters. " ... In the grand scheme of things, in terms of regular seasons, signs are pointing that way that this could be it."

That allowed Roethlisberger and the Steelers faithful to understand the gravity of the moment and soak in the entire night.
