Ben Roethlisberger Breaks Nose: Steelers QB Hit Hard, No Penalty for Ravens

It is early in the first quarter at M&T Bank Stadium, but when the Pittsburgh Steelers meet the Baltimore Ravens, it's never too early for some violence!

Baltimore Ravens defensive end Haloti Ngata provided Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger with a nasty sack...

Which resulted in a broken nose.

Roethlisberger has returned to the field (albeit with blood all down the front of his uniform), but with the league cracking down on flagrant hits, we have to wonder...

"Where's the flag?!"

Steelers linebacker James Harrison has been fined a total of five times for hits like these this season, but when Big Ben takes a hit...nothing.

This may be because I'm a Steelers fan, but I feel like Pittsburgh has been getting screwed by flagrant hit sanctions all season.
