Steelers 27, Titans 24

“It wasn’t pretty early. It was not really one of those that you’re going to go home and watch the whole thing and be proud of, but at the end of the day it’s the scoreboard that matters.” — Ben, post-game.



From Larry Hartstein, CBS Sports:

111714_1Facing an onslaught of Titans’ blitzes, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 21 of 32 throws for 207 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Monday’s 27-24 road win.

Despite absorbing five sacks and several other big hits, Roethlisberger led consecutive second-half touchdown drives to secure the victory.



From Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh-Post Gazette:

The Steelers trailed the lowly Tennessee Titans by 11 points in the fourth quarter, and it looked as if another of the NFL’s bottom feeders would claim them as a victim.

And then the Bell went off in the fourth quarter for them.

Le’Veon Bell, who told his teammates Sunday night that he would rush for 150 yards, rushed for 74 of his 204 yards in the fourth quarter, including their first offensive touchdown, as he put the team on his back and carried them to a 27-24 victory.

“He was so impressive,” Roethlisberger said of the second-year halfback. “The things he does — catches the ball, runs the ball with power, finesse.”

Ben’s Foundation: Two K-9 Grants awarded in the Nashville Area

Today, Ben announced the eighth and ninth grants of the 2014-15 season from the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation at The Giving Back Fund.


“We’re very fortunate to be in the position that we are able to help these K-9 units. The work that is performed by the dogs and their handlers as well as the bond that is formed is incredible. We’re just thrilled to do our small part.” — Ben.



The Foundation will be distributing grants to the Oneida Police Department and the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department outside of Nashville where the Steelers will play the Titans on November 17th on ESPN’s Monday Night Football.

germanshephardpup_pumpkinsThe Putnam County Sheriff’s Office will purchase a dual purpose dog and two safety vests for its K-9s, while the Oneida Police Department plans to fill the void left in their unit with the passing of their only dog this past May.

This marks the eighth season that the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation has distributed grants to K-9 units. The mission of the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation is to support K-9 units of police and fire departments throughout the United States with a particular emphasis on support for service dogs in Pittsburgh, PA. Roethlisberger and the Foundation also strive to support Make-A-Wish.

Putnam County Sheriff Eddie Farris said, “As Sheriff of Putnam County, Tennessee, I am proud and honored to lead the agency that has been chosen as a recipient of a Ben Roethlisberger Foundation K-9 grant. The citizens of Putnam County rely on our agency to provide a safe community. To achieve this, it is vital for us to have quality trained personnel and resources. The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation grant will enable our agency to retire one of our older K-9s and purchase a new narcotics/patrol dog as well as pay for the necessary training and certification for our handlers and equip our patrol dogs with safety vests.”

K-9 Officer Steven Ward of the Oneida Police Department said, “In May of this year, the Oneida Police Department’s narcotic dog, Jinks, suddenly passed away while on duty. Our department is small and we have a very limited budget. Due to the high cost, we were concerned that we may be unable to purchase a new narcotics detection dog. But thanks to the kindness and generosity […]

Wednesday: Ben’s meeting with the media

“I’ll start just by saying, since I didn’t talk to you yesterday, thanks to all of our veterans, our troops, people that have served (or) that are serving. Thank you for your support and your service both foreign and domestic. We couldn’t do what we do, which is play the game of football, without all of you. So thank you all very much.” — Ben.



From Steelers.com this afternoon:

Nov12What have you learned from Alejandro Villanueva and how cool is it that he is coming on this trip?

It’s great. We went to Coach Tomlin with an idea and we knew he’d be receptive to it. I think it’s the least that we can do for someone that has done so much for our country.


Did you know that Rodgers Freyvogel is a Marine?

I did not know that. Well thanks to Rodgers, too.


Is there a little extra motivation to get a win for Coach Munchak this week?

Well I think the biggest think for Coach Munchak this week is to make sure he goes to the right locker room (jokingly). If he goes to the wrong one (then) we’re in trouble. But I think you can tell a little bit today that he has a little extra in him. I’m sure the line can answer that question better than me because they’re around him all the time. But we want to win this game for everybody. It would be kind of special for him to go there and get a win.


What about facing Ken Whisenhunt?

Yes, and Ray Horton, and I’m not sure who is all on their staff that we know. It’s special because I know Coach Whiz, and I have a pretty good relationship with him now. We text and keep in contact throughout the seasons. It will be special to go against him again.


Did you and Whisenhunt always have a pretty good relationship?

Yeah, in the last 6-7 years for sure.


Did you have a good relationship the first couple of years you two were together?

I never really had an issue with coach. We butted heads as lots of people do, but I don’t think it was any issue. B.A. (Bruce Arians) and I butted heads, too, and you would have thought we were too close.


What will it take for the team for you […]
