As he recovers from a season-ending elbow injury, Ben Roethlisberger has not exactly prioritized personal grooming, it appears.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were taking on the Buffalo Bills Sunday night when the cameras caught Big Ben on the sideline looking like he traveled to the stadium from his lodge deep in the Colorado Rockies.

As the NFL community absorbed Roethlisberger’s new look, the memes followed.
