40 of 49 throwing for Big Ben. That's crazy.

[@devinjerryfreedomisfree4599]

With 522 yards 6 TDs and no picks 😶

[@kimblandino]

@@devinjerryfreedomisfree4599 no sacks either. In fact, all 3 of his 500 yard games, are all wins and no INTs in either! Unheard of.

As a Steeler fan, I remember Luck getting pummeled this game and getting back up every time smiling, and then throw a dart for 20 yards next play. After we won, I didn't mention the 50 points we scored on the #1 Defense through 8 weeks. I didn't go gaga over Ben's dominant performance or gush over L. Bell, AB, Bryant, etc. I said; "Andrew Luck is a tough sonuvabitch. He has my respect."

This Steelers' offense was electric. So fun to watch!

Next time the Steelers and the Eagles play each other, one team should wear the Steagles home jersey and the other team should wear the Steagles away jersey.

heard it here 1st

[@BradyIsAfagInHeat]

I'm totally down to watch that. It would be great actually

[@kimblandino]

Yoooooo NFL DO THIS!

[@JohnGoetzGaming]

For my money the greatest single game played by a QB ever. Big Ben had 0 sacks, 0 ints, 6tds, and 522 yards against the number 1 defense in the NFL. He also stopped throwing half way through the 4th and could have easily set the single game record for passing yards

[@vincentHhh-sq4ri]

which is crazy for a modern day nfl game

[@AbelZahid]

Crazy how the records of both teams are basically the same 🤯

[@SeanFerree]

Big Ben with the punt 😂

[@jcore0981]

10 on the attempt. 3 for the execution.

[@jackp1909]

This game was awesome to be at. First Steelers game ever for me, and Big Ben throws 6 TD’s 😂😂😂

[@SmugTomato]

This was a fun one to watch for sure. The first of a two week stretch where Big Ben tossed 6 TDs each while averaging over 400 yards per game. Games like this are why I personally believe Ben doesn't get enough credit. Sure, he's not on the level of say, Brady, Brees or Manning, but on his best days, it's hard to argue that he's not a top 5 QB. Hope we haven't seen the last of his days in the league. It'd truly be a shame.

[@apiraklertlitwittaya5649]

Clearly not, Ben already said that he will honor the contract (which he will be under through 2021). Once he is healthy, he will back at the QB starting position again.

[@aaronshoaf4644]

Smug Tomato I couldn’t agree more, hope to see more good games from Ben

[@ghostintheshell3576]

this was a electrifying game remember watching this both luck and big Ben put on great performance

[@nick56677]

2 QBs from the same mold. Tough, physical and strong

[@steelersgoingfor7706]

Big Ben is a top 5 all time great! The Most Perfect passer rating games, the Most Passer rating games above 150. 3rd most comeback wins.

[@mikekeller365]

and the most 6TD games(did it back to back weeks), and the most 500yd games and the most 450+yd games, and I believe the 6th most qb wins in playoffs, and 3 wins away from being 2nd

Man i remember this day like yesterday. So weird calling it a throw back. It's also kinda weird how we almost have the exact same records as before. If only Juju didn't fumble we would be 4-3.

[@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

Ben Roethlisberger is undoubtedly a future Hall of Famer but during his playing career I always had the feeling as though he was notch below the truly elite QBs like Brady, Peyton Manning, Rodgers, and Brees. 2014 was the one year Big Ben truly belonged in that echelon of QBs.

[@Ryan-zt2xw]

He never threw for more than 34TDs and he led the league in picks that year. Very good QB but he has zero personal accolades

[@Poopster909able]

William Gay has the best touchdown celebrations🤣🤣🤣

It's a shame these prime years of Ben Roethlisberger were wasted with no Superbowls or even a Superbowl appearance. These were some pretty good Steeler offensive teams from 2014-2018 and were completely wasted because of a subpar defense at times, especially in the playoffs.

And nobody picked us to beat the Colts this year (well outside of a few) and we beat them. People just don’t learn the fact that we absolutely own the Colts. We own them in hienz field, we own them in their stupid glue factory Lucas oil stadium, we own them in Pittsburgh, we own them in Indy, we just own their soul. We’ve won 6 games in a row against them, also 8-2 this millennium against them, and we’re now 25-6 against them all time.

[@peterharris4168]

The NFL needs new guidelines for offensive PI. Picks should not be legal, I mean technically they aren't, but teams constantly get away with it in big situations too. I get the league wants offense but they shouldn't let teams do it illegally. It sucks. When it happens to your team in a big spot on a third down when u need the ball back you'll feel it then. Like they did with illegal contact that one year where they emphasized it, they need to do the same thing with offense running picks. Make them do it legally. Change the rule. Clean it up. Call it when it happens. Too many times teams get huge plays off of something that should be illegal
