Now, Roethlisberger says that indefinitely suspended former Ravens running back Ray Rice is in his prayers. The three--time Pro Bowl runner's $35 million contract was terminated Monday when a video surfaced of him punching his then-fiancee Janay Palmer in a casino elevator.



"We pray for him and his wife and his family," Roethlisberger said during a conference call with Baltimore reporters. "The biggest focus is the game on Thursday. That's really all that we can afford to deal with right now on such a short week and notice. And that's the most important thing for us right now is what we control."
