Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall threw some major shade at Ben Roethlisberger on Sunday.
Mendenhall, who played with Roethlisberger from 2008 to 2012 in Pittsburgh, sent a tweet on Sunday questioning why Big Ben never took the blame for any of the Steelers' struggles.
The former Illinois running back suggested that Roethlisberger would always blame others when things didn't go well for Pittsburgh.
There's plenty of irony here. And many Steelers fans let Mendenhall hear it over his tweet.
Just last summer, Mendenhall insisted that he wasn't to blame for his fumble in the Steelers' loss to the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV.
The play was blown up from the start, but Mendenhall could've displayed some better ball security.
There have certainly been times when Roethlisberger could've shown more accountability, but Mendenhall looks like a massive hypocrite after refusing to accept blame for not holding onto the ball during a key moment in the sport's biggest game.
