Roethlisberger named AFC offensive player of the week

Wednesday, November 02, 2011

Gerry Dulac, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who passed for a season-high 365 yards and two touchdowns in a 25-17 victory against the New England Patriots, was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week -- the second time he won the award in October.

Roethlisberger set career highs with 23 completions and 32 pass attempts in the first half, and he went 9-for-12 for 104 yards with one touchdown on third-down pass plays. He finished 36 of 50 and recorded is third 300-yard game of the season and the 18th of his career. His 36 completions and 50 pass attempts were the second-most of his career.

Haha, yeah. I don't know how many people here watch NFLN, but they've been praising Ben all week. Sapp, Deion, Ervin... they've all been talking him up.

Flacco on the other hand...

Once you become the team to beat deemed by the media, then how can you be under the radar?
