Speaking of Pittsburgh Dad…did you see this one last summer?

Watch what happens when Ben picks the wrong house to go to after his car breaks down!

From his interview with Teresa Varley this afternoon:

Steelers’ quarterback Ben Roethlisberger sat down after Tuesday’s OTA session and talked about the offense improving, young wide receivers and some of the talent on offense.

The offense had a record setting year in 2014. In what areas can the offense improve?

We can get better every day. We can improve on third downs, we can improve on red zones, and we can improve on first down. To us, we never want to settle. We always want to continue to improve and get better. Just because we had a bunch of individuals that did great last year and we as a unit played great, we still feel like we can get better.


Is the red zone an area you really want to focus on improving in?

It means points, and the more points we can score it usually means you win football games.


How much improvement have you seen in OTAs overall?

I have seen some growth from young guys. Some of the veteran guys keep getting better. I am really excited about this team and hopefully as in every season health is always the key component.


Speaking of health, how much of a difference did it make to have a healthy offensive line last year?

It’s huge, their cohesiveness, their love for each other. They play so well together. If they can stay healthy that makes us everything.


What’s it like to have a target like Antonio Brown?

He is awesome. Every day he amazes you. He is a guy that works so hard and he is being rewarded with it because he is a special player.


What does (QB coach) Randy Fichtner mean to you, to your game?

I have been with Randy for quite a few years now and it’s great to know every day when I walk in what I am going to get. He is a guy that is always willing to help. Whether it’s today when I asked him to come out early to work on some stuff I wanted to work on. He is always out here ready to go. The film study. Just having a guy to talk to. I think the best thing about having a coach that has a player like myself that is a veteran guy is to not try and […]

From Dave Dameshek, NFL.com:

The Seahawks still only have that one Lombardi, but they now have a set of triplets that should put their offense on par with any in pro football.

How good are the other 31 teams’ top offensive trios? I’m glad I asked — here’s the list (updated from last December’s pecking order, with previous rankings listed for easy consumption):

1) Pittsburgh Steelers: Ben Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell & Antonio Brown

Previous rank: No. 1

Over the last two seasons, Brown has been, at worst, the second-best WR in the NFL (239 receptions!). In 2014, Bell was, at worst, the second-best RB, while Roethlisberger had, at worst, the third-best season among QBs. Add ’em all up, and it’s tough to argue anything other than this trio being, at worst, the best.


Check out the rest of the rankings here.

“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, on why the mission of the foundation is so important to him.

This marks the ninth grant cycle for The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation, which distributed more than $132,000 in grants to K-9 units around the country during the 2014 NFL season, including $55,000 in the Pittsburgh community. The majority of the grants distributed will help K-9 units to purchase dogs and dog safety vests, but other types of needs are also considered. Ben’s foundation also supports Make-A-Wish and combined, has distributed in excess of $1.3 million since 2007.

The Foundation will be distributing grants in the cities and surrounding communities of each regular season away game for the Steelers during the 2015 NFL season including Boston, St. Louis, San Diego, Kansas City, Seattle, Cincinnati, Baltimore and Cleveland areas. The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation invites police and fire departments in these eight cities to submit proposals detailing their needs. Also, for each Steelers’ appearance in a playoff game, a grant will be awarded to a non-NFL market city anywhere in the United States that would not otherwise be eligible to apply. In addition, the Foundation will continue to make grants to several police and fire department K-9 units in the Pittsburgh area following Super Bowl 50.

Fans of The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation can support future K-9 grants by purchasing candy on Sarris Candies’ website, (www.SarrisCandiesFundraising.com), using a special purchase code (77-7777). Sarris will donate 25 percent of the purchase price to the Foundation.
