Steelers / Colts game reminds us:

...there were TWO great "Big Bens" on display in the NFL today! While the viability of a franchise in London is still in question, the status of Big Ben Roethlisberger as one of the ten best quarterbacks in the league shouldn't be. He became the first QB in history to have two career games of more than 500 yards passing today, throwing six TD passes in an impending victory over the Colts (whose Andrew Luck went over 400 yards himself!).

It seems unlikely he'll throw again, but he could in theory reach one of the coolest records in football: Quick! When was the "passing yardage in a game" record set? Hint: not by a current QB. Okay, then, Favre? Marino? NOPE, it was Norm Van Brocklin back in September of 1951!
