The Pittsburgh Steelers are 8-2, coming off a huge 40-point output vs. the Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night Football. This is great news for the team pressing forward, but why on earth is the term “Dilly Dilly” being talked about so much?

While this had absolutely nothing to do with the Pittsburgh Steelers heading into the Week 11 game at Heinz Field, it was in the fourth quarter when the two entities became one — thanks to Ben Roethlisberger.
It was there when you heard Roethlisberger, in his pre-snap cadence, yell, “Dilly Dilly!”
