B & B back in business: Ben was 19-of-29 for 250 yards, 3 touchdowns with a QB rating of 112.7; Antonio Brown caught six passes for 101 yards and 2 touchdowns!

“We always on the same page, we always positive. We never listen to what the media say..All of my touchdowns, all of my catches are from him and that’s my guy I live and die with him…and the Wi-Fi was lit.” — Antonio Brown on Ben.

Congratulations to James Conner, well deserved: Steelers Digest Player of the Week!

“In posting a 41-17 victory over the Falcons, the Steelers re-discovered their running attack, with the offense accounting for 131 yards on the ground and James Conner leading the way with 110 on 21 carries (5.2 average) and two touchdowns to go along with four receptions for another 75 yards. With 185 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns in 25 touches, Conner is the Steelers Digest Player of the Week.” — Bob Labriola, Steelers.com.

Recap from Teresa Varley, Steelers.com:

There is no panic in Ben Roethlisberger, despite starting the season a disappointing 1-2-1. Roethlisberger knows that you can’t panic, that they have been down this road before and can turn it around.

“You have to bounce back when you have a bad day,” said Roethlisberger. “When you start stacking bad days, then you start getting worried. Get here a little early today and be ready to go.

“We have been 0-4 before. Last year we started a little sloppy too. You guys can look at the record all you want. We’re not. We’re looking at this next week and trying to get a win. That is all that matters. If this has to happen, it’s better to happen early in the season than middle or late in the season.”

Roethlisberger shoulders much of the responsibility for the performance of the offense, and didn’t hesitate to take blame for Sunday’s loss to the Ravens. As a leader of the offense, he takes it upon himself to get things rolling moving forward.

“We always say we have to score one more point than they do,” said Roethlisberger. “Offensively we have to score one more point than them. We take the approach that we want to score as many points as possible. We take these losses on us as an offense. Me as a leader of the offense, I take it on myself that we haven’t done enough to score points to win games. Offensively we need to be better and will be better.”

Roethlisberger is hoping to get one of his favorite targets through the years going this week. Through four games Antonio Brown has 29 receptions for 272 yards and three touchdowns. They aren’t Brown like numbers, especially the yardage, and Roethlisberger was asked if teams were doing something different to neutralize him.

“We have seen so many things in the last nine years it’s hard to show anything different,” said Roethlisberger. “I just have to play better to help him get his numbers, which in turn will help us get wins.”

Roethlisberger said they have moved Brown around in the offense, lining him up differently. But when it’s Brown, there is going to be coverage no matter where he lines up.

“Two of the first three plays of the game […]

Recap provided by 93.7 The Fan & CBS Pittsburgh:

A report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler Monday says that Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell will return to the Steelers during the week 7 bye and be ready to play Week 8 when the Browns come to Heinz Field.

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger tells The Fan during his weekly radio show that he’s heard a lot of reports over the last few months and would be excited if and when Le’veon Bell reports.

“He’s been a teammate of ours and a really good football player so I hope he can come in and help us. Right now we could take some help but I think the key is if and when he gets here, I’m sure he’s not going to be in ready-to-go football shape getting the ball 30 times a game. But we don’t necessarily need that, James has done a really great job and I know people will probably scratch their heads when I say James has been doing good because he hasn’t gotten a lot of rushing yards. But, what we’ve asked him to do: picking up blitzes, pass protecting, catching the ball out of the backfield, it’s been awesome.”

Some negative things were said about Bell when he didn’t report during the first of the season but Roethlisberger says that it is all in the past and they are ready to move on with Bell as their teammate.

“Yeah, if he can come back and help us and be ready to go then we’ll be ready to welcome him back. A lot of things were said earlier in the year but that’s kind of in the past, we’ve moved on. Hopefully he’s moving on in the sense of getting back and ready to get with us.” ​

Roethlisberger says the team is going to spend time Wednesday to figure out why they have gotten off to a slow start the first four games of the season and that he takes responsibility for Sunday’s loss to Baltimore.

“When you have an off day as the quarterback at your position it’s really hard for the rest of the team to pick up your slack and it’s hard to win football games when you have a bad day so that’s why you hope you […]

Ben after the game:

“I just didn’t make enough plays, point blank. I’ll take ownership of that game, squarely on me. I apologize to the fans, my teammates. I just wasn’t good enough.”

When asked whether he felt he wasn’t on the same page with Antonio Brown:

“I don’t think I’m on the same page with anybody right now. I’m not playing well enough. I need to play better. Today was just a bad day at the office. I promise I’ll be back to play better!”

Then this happened after the game:

“Two great players showing respect to each other, exchanging jerseys after the game.” — Chad Steele, Ravens Public Relations (who also took the photos).

“I’ve been a part of this rivalry for 16 years. That team has raised my level of play. Even rivals can show respect. The player I am is because of the Pittsburgh Steelers.” — Terrell Suggs.

Benjamin Jr. gets a lesson on respecting your opponent, whether it’s in a win or a loss!



Terrell Suggs posted a photo of his autographed Roethlisberger jersey on Instagram. The inscription from Ben reads:

“Sizzle, It’s an honor to compete against you! First ballot HOF!”
