If you are interested in the NFL’s Top 100 Players show, then you might have been excited when Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger came on the screen.
Big Ben was locked in at #21 on the list and finished the 2015 season with 21 touchdowns, after missing a total of four games due to injuries.
His incredible performance against the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Wild Card game will never be forgotten. Ben came back in the game, down by 2, with an injured shoulder and led the Steelers down the field for a go ahead field goal to give his team a playoff victory for the first time in four years.

This is quite deserving for a hard working individual like Roethlisberger. He battles each and everyday to become an even better quarterback.
I am a proud fan of Big Ben and wish him the best of luck in 2016. Hopefully Pittsburgh can win another Vince Lombardi Trophy and real soon. Congrats Ben!!

If this team can avoid the injury bug that killed it last year , and the secondary can manage to hold its own , the sky is the limit for the 2016 steelers . Those two things are huge question marks but if they go in the Steelers favor they have a chance to be in the dance at the end of the year . As far as Ben is concerned , we as fans , need to sit back and enjoy these next three or four years because thats what Ben has left in the tank . After that , its anybodys guess . Franchise quarterbacks dont come along often and the Steelers had to wait more than twenty years to go from Bradshaw to Roethlisberger . Bottom line , this team has a three year window to get another Vince Lombardi so the time to make hay , is now .
