To avoid having to potentially go to Baltimore and New England to get to the SB?
And if Cincy had beaten Baltimore Sunday, which was entirely possible, given the results of the first meeting in Baltimore and Baltimore's tendancy to poop themselves on the road, coupled with a Pats loss would have given the Steelers the #1 seed. Its not as if he had nothing to play for. And given the injury situation getting the Bye and HFA maybe the only chance they had of making it to the SB.
So you would risk aggrevating the injury and in turn not having ur QB at 100% for the playoffs just for better seeding?
Remember the steelers won their last superbowl as a wildcard team, they could have made the playoffs and rested Ben at the same time and then have him back to normal health and ready for the playoffs
