It is 102 miles from Heinz Field to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, but this week 522 yards was enough for Ben Roethlisberger to span that distance.

That's because one of the game-used balls from his record-setting performance Sunday against the Colts has been added to the display collection at the hall.

Against Indianapolis, Roethlisberger became the first player in NFL history to throw for 500-yards twice in a career and the first Steeler to throw for 6 TDs in a single game.

Here's a look at the ball (top) and where it sits in the Pro Football Today display (bottom, right, next to the ball from the 700th Monday Night Football game).............

Deal! My mom lives in Jamestown, Pa. and we almost went there for Lebeau's ceremony. The football HOF is always on our "list".

Congratulations to Ben. This is quite an honor. He should be proud. I know I'm proud of him.

On that night, Ben would not be denied a victory. I think he has been taking all of the bad publicity personally. Would be great for the HoF to add another ball on Monday after he crushes the Rats.
