“I might never win the passing title or be the league MVP. But I’m OK with that. I just want to win championships. I’ve got a lot of fingers left for rings and I want to win a lot more championships. When I’m done and they look back on my career, I want them to be able to say he won the big games. That will mean more to me than anything.” — Ben, from Mr. Cook’s column.



From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette‘s Ron Cook this morning:

Roethlisberger will play in another of those big games Saturday when the Steelers meet the Ravens at Heinz Field. With all due respect to the Steelers’ great defense, he’s the No. 1 reason to like the home team. He and Brady are the best big-game quarterbacks of this generation.

“I’ve seen and heard a few of the guys say, ‘In 7 We Trust,’ ” Roethlisberger said. “That’s an unbelievable honor. I don’t take that for granted. But I do take that pressure. I want to be that guy for this team. I want to win for my teammates.”
