PITTSBURGH — Ben Roethlisberger says he may have gone too far with Antonio Brown.

The Steelers quarterback, speaking publicly for the first time since his falling out with the star receiver and Brown’s ensuing departure to the Oakland Raiders, offered a conditional apology to Brown via CBS-KDKA.

Ben Roethlisberger's first comments to @KDPomp and @KDKA on Antonio Brown: "I took some heat and deservedly so for some of the comments on that show and especially towards him. I genuinely feel bad about that and I'm sorry. Did I got to far after that Denver game? Probably..." — Andrew Fillipponi (@ThePoniExpress) May 20, 2019

The Tuesday following Pittsburgh’s Week 12 loss to the Denver Broncos, Roethlisberger went on his weekly radio show and said he wished he could’ve thrown the ball to JuJu Smith-Schuster four times in a row on the Steelers’ final goal-line sequence. He threw a game ending interception to defensive lineman Shelby Harris on a pass seemingly intended for but well short of Antonio Brown in the end zone.

With the defeat the Steelers began a three-game losing skid that would eventually lead to derailing their campaign, losing control of their postseason future in New Orleans and an early offseason.

Brown has since voiced his frustration with Roethlisberger’s public criticism of Brown. The quarterback said at the time that he had earned the right to give it. Mike Tomlin, Kevin Colbert and others have backed him to that end.

Roethlisberger has frequently called out players, coaches and staff on his show, including the head coach and general manager, Todd Haley, Martavis Bryant and others.

Roethlisberger continued on AB: "That's the thing about media and social media, As soon as you say 'sorry' it only goes so far. You can't take it back. And I wish I could because if that's what ruined our friendship and relationship, I'm truly, genuinely sorry about that." — Andrew Fillipponi (@ThePoniExpress) May 20, 2019

His full interview is set to air Monday night on the 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. news.
