Roethlisberger is Digest Player of Week

[stillers4me]

The San Francisco 49ers possessed the ball for 36 minutes and 59 seconds. Their quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, completed 33-of-46 (71.7 percent) for 335 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions for a rating of 106.7. This on an afternoon when the 49ers offense finished with 409 total net yards of offense.

The 49ers’ time of possession didn’t matter. Kaepernick’s statistics didn’t matter, and neither did the amount of total offense rolled up by the unit. None of that mattered because of Ben Roethlisberger........

Didn't he tie or break a record for 300 yard games too?

[Butch]

Just wish he would quit being such a slackard.

[stillers4me]

Think how good he would be if actually spent some time studying film.

Aren't we supposed to lose when he throws for 300?

[86WARD]

Chiefs,still haven't thrown a TD to a WR in how long???

[polamalubeast]

The 300-yard game for Roethlisberger are almost automatic.

Roethlisberger has had at least 300 yards in 10 of last 12 games.

5000 yards is really a possibility for Ben, especially if the Steelers are aggressive as yesterday!...Break the record of Manning in yards is also a possibility.
