COWHER GROWS TESTY WHEN ASKED WHY BIG BEN WAS IN IRON LUNG ON SIDELINES DURING SUNDAY'S GAME

"TOO MUCH IS READ INTO HIS HEALTH," SNAPS COACH

PITTSBURGH - Steelers Coach Bill Cowher grew testy when asked by sideline reporters why Ben Roethlisberger was in an iron lung during Sunday's game.

"It's another of these sensationalized stories that these sideline reporters want to create," Cowher said. "It's frankly bothersome that they try to make more than what's there. That machine was just helping Ben catch his breath because the air's so thin in San Diego. He's fine, just leave it at that."
