What a season it’s turning out to be for Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The AFC North franchise registered their 8th consecutive win of the season last night after steamrolling over Mike McCarthy’s Dallas Cowboys. The Steelers made their way to a comfortable 19-24 win against the struggling NFC East franchise at the AT&T Stadium.
Veteran NFL quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was terrific once again. The 2-time Super Bowl winner went 29 of 42 throwing for 306 yards with 3 passing touchdowns to his name. Roethlisberger left the field for a brief period in the second half after hurting his left knee but came back on to see out the win.

The 38-year-old quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has made an outstanding return to the NFL after spending most of last season on the sidelines with a nasty elbow injury.
The Steelers are on a perfect 8-0 record after their Week 9 win against the Cowboys who were playing without Dak Prescott and Andy Dalton. But Roethlisberger is not allowing his teammates to get complacent.
“We know that everybody is coming for us. I don’t want to take any shots at anybody, but if you didn’t know who America’s Team was then you should’ve seen the stands and all the Terrible Towels.
