Ben was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.


The Steelers 41-9 win also secured them the AFC North title. Ben completed 15 of 22 passes for 280 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions for a 141.3 passer rating.

Ben finished the regular season having completed 240 passes for 3,200 yards, 17 touchdowns and just five interceptions. It’s the fifth consecutive year he has thrown for over 3,000 yards.

He also finishes the regular season with the third best quarterback rating (96.98) in the AFC, behind only Tom Brady and Philip Rivers…after missing four games!

Ben was also selected as the Steelers Digest Player of the Week!

Quote of the Day:

“It’s all about team – offense, defense and special teams. It’s about how close this locker room is. Maybe a better word, team is a sub-word, family is better. You start with the coaches, owners, and the Rooney family. We are family. That is the better word.” — Ben, on the success of this year’s team.



Tomorrow:

You can catch Ben on ESPN‘s Mike & Mike Show at 7:45 a.m. on Thursday, January 6th! He will be a phone-in guest!
