522 yards. 4th most in NFL history and most in Steelers Franchise history!

6 TDs. Most in Franchise history!

First player to ever have TWO 500+ games!

I think there were two more, something about completions, and another about wins they were promoting before the game. The graphic had him up with Montana, Bradshaw, and others.


Just unbelievable. The offense is better than its ever been and will be playing with confidence!

The defense is getting worse, no pass rush unless all out blitzes, awful pass defense and shoddy tackling.
 
The wins was his 100th win in his first 150 starts. Only four QB's in that list.

Find another thread to ***** about things in, this is clearly a Big Ben thread...
 
Not to mention Ben is the only QB to have two 500+ yd passing games! HOW ABOUT THAT!!!

And two are Steelers. That makes what would otherwise be a very unimportant quasi-stat very relevant. ;)
 
Whats amazing is Bradshaw came to a 1-13 team who was 5-9 and 6-8 his first 2 years.
 
Ben was unconscious tonight. Absolutely the best QB performance I've seen in a long time. They could've hung 65 or more on them without the turnovers/drops. It was incredible.
 
Very happy to watch his performance he was awesome tonight, was I the only bitching that they didn't let BB throw on the last drive for 33 yds and break the record? With the day Ben had I was so wanting him to get that record.
 
While this was probably the most entertaining Steeler game I remember in some time, how often do fans of teams that score 51 points feel so uneasy about a 20+ point lead? :)

Ben was awesome, but gotta hand it to the receivers for the most part too. They made some huge catches. OL was on-point tonight too. Just an all around great offensive performance.

Even the defensive front was getting good pressure. Luck is a very good QB and the Steelers would have had several more sacks against a lesser QB. Of course, the DBs were our weak link again tonight, but even they couldn't spoil Ben's epic night.

Really, the offense only scored 42 points , not quite as impressive as the yardage numbers.
 
Yeah, Ben was hotter than a fire cracker. Receivers were hot and on fire, too.
 
Today might have got him some HOF votes from those who say he's not worthy. (Which I am not by the way.)
 
40 completions...also a team record. Amazing what he can do with protection.
 
If I had money and was a betting man, I really would have bet Ben didn't get his 100th win tonight. Glad I don't bet.

One of the truly great QB performances by a Steeler or any QB in a long time. So happy for Ben. For all the **** he takes and accepts when he shouldn't, he deserves some accolades for once. Some is living by the sword, but he is a great leader. He will eventually go down as TGSQBOAT.

No, you were not. Would have loved to have seen that, but is speaks of Bellidick and the piss in your eye attitude that pats have when wining. I'm happy we got what we got.

When it comes quickly and through the air that's what can happen. Run a team over and you feel pretty good about a 22 point lead.
 
Like it or not that may well be the second best regular season game ever by a QB... Id think YA Tittle's 500+ yards with 7 td's and no picks might be better, but 522/6/0 and no sacks with 40completions out of 49 attempts...(92%)... every other big yardage game has really been with several Ints thrown
