More from today’s game…
Did you catch Ben’s post-game interview?
“It feels good. I believe in those guys up front, and they’ve gone up against some really good defenses, dome good d-lines, some crazy blitzes and different things. I love those guys to death, and I wouldn’t want anyone else in front of me”. — Ben, on his Offensive line keeping him upright.
“He’s getting better each and every week. If this team continues to go down the path it’s going down, he’s going to be discussed as an MVP. To say you’re surprised, no. To say you should be greatly impressed, yes. How could you not be?” — Coach Cowher.

From Gerry Dulac, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
[Ben] has thrown 22 touchdowns, putting him on pace for a career high; been intercepted just four times, which would be his fewest in a decade; and has had a 100-plus passer rating in seven of the nine games in 2020. What’s more, he has surprised everyone — including the doctor who performed his surgery — with how quickly he has bounced back from an injury that could have ended his career. At age 38, he already has exceeded everyone’s expectation.
“I was pretty optimistic he would feel like he could throw with much less pain than he had in a while,” said Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the Los Angeles-based orthopedic surgeon who performed surgery on Roethlisberger. “I didn’t realize how well he would be able to throw.”
There is still one last hurdle to overcome for Roethlisberger, though it’s one he knows may never disappear: He still gets concerned every time he is hit on his elbow.
“I hear people say, ‘Oh man, Ben is holding his elbow again.’ Well of course I am,” Roethlisberger said. “I had major surgery. If my left elbow gets hit, I’m not going to be holding it and be worried about it. I just had potential career-ending surgery on my money-maker, if you will. Every time I land on it or get hit on it, of course I’m going to be scared for a second or nervous for a second.
“People say, ‘Why is [Dr. Jim] Bradley looking at your elbow all the time?’ ” Roethlisberger added, referring to the team’s orthopedic surgeon. “Well, because we all invested […]

Just focus on one week at a time. We are not chasing perfection at 16-0. We are chasing Lombardis.— Ben, post-game.
The Steelers improved to 10-0.
The Jaguars lost their ninth straight and fell to 1-9.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s 20-yard touchdown pass to tight end Eric Ebron with 6:40 left in the fourth quarter provided the exclamation point. Kicker Chris Boswell’s extra point accounted for the final margin.
Boswell’s 47-yard field goal with 10:21 left in the fourth had been the only scoring in the second half prior to the Roethlisberger-to-Ebron touchdown.
They’re fun to watch. The way they get after the quarterbacks. It’s so much fun to watch them play. — Ben, on the Steelers defense.

“That’s my quarterback!” — Dionte Johnson, post-game.
A Jamin good birthday!!

Lil’ Fan Friday


“This is our son Kash. Then & Now! Steelers fan from birth, like his mom & dad!!” — Mom Jen.

“2-year old Maddie Perry from Senoia, Ga. is a Steeler’s fan just like her Grammy and her Aunt Lexie!” — Aunt Lexie.

“Their best memory of all the training camps they have gone to.” — Grandmother Jeanine.



“This is Teagan! She turned 4 months old on November 1st and she was born a Steelers fan like her mommy (despite her dad liking the nasty Patriots
). She watches every game and loves to cheer her team on!” — Mom Taylor.

“My family was in Cleveland last weekend visiting grandparents. We of course watched the Steelers game amidst a bunch of Browns fans. My 10-year old son went for a halftime bike ride with his uncle and had a bad accident. He was riding on a small dirt trick course. He hit a small jump and instead of landing, hiss flew over the handle bars. His face took the impact. We went to the ER. He got 5 stitches in his chin but he also knocked his bottom front teeth loose and chipped 2 teeth. We watched the end of the Steelers game and saw Big Ben throw the winning TD. Then he was ready to […]
Gobble ’em up!
From Teresa Varley, Steelers.com:
Thanksgiving is a time to gather as a family, to enjoy spending time with the ones we love, to share stories and laughs, hugs and prayers of thanks.
This year, though, things are going to be a little different.
The gatherings are likely to be smaller because of the COVID-19 pandemic, most limited to just the people in our own homes. The stories and the laughter, the hugs and the prayers, many of them likely to be shared over Zoom rather than in person.
Even with the distance, even with a smaller group around the table, there is still that one thing that can be enjoyed.
A fantastic Thanksgiving dinner.
This year the Steelers family wants to share with you some of their favorite recipes for Thanksgiving. The wives, girlfriends and parents of our players, coaches and staff have opened their cookbooks and given us their favorites, from Kiya Tomlin’s full deal on how to make a turkey, stuffing and gravy, to Greta Rooney’s amazing chiffon pumpkin pie recipe that her mother used to make, to Connie Watt and Ashley Roethlisberger’s top takes.
The recipes are diverse, from the main course to side dishes, appetizers to desserts, and even a special version of eggnog.
Some of the recipes yield big servings, remember they are cooking for football players, but if you are anything like me one of your favorite Thanksgiving dishes is leftovers, so just go with the flow and your small gathering can enjoy it for days.
Check out all of these wonderful recipes, including Ashley’s Sweet Potato Casserole and Brenda’s Pumpkin/Hubbard Squash Pie, right here!
Wednesday’s Q&A with the media
“Personally, the goal isn’t to go undefeated, right? The goal is to win the Super Bowl. We’re just going one week at a time. We’re not worried about anything other than this week.” — Ben.
“I haven’t had a chance to get him yet. He mentioned it again in the team meeting, too, & I wasn’t too happy about that. I will get him back, don’t worry. I have to figure out what conference William & Mary is in. We will say something about that.” — Ben, on Coach Tomlin’s “MAC” comment yesterday.
Good thing we always have @_BigBen7 backing us up
Don't mess with the
of the MAC.
