The only surprising thing about Ben Roethlisberger earning the Steelers MVP award today is that it is the quarterback's first such honor. Of all his spectacular success in past seasons, including his Pro Bowl year of 2007, this may be Roethlsiberger's best. He's passed for 4,108 yards in 14 games, and his 503-yard performance in a 37-36 victory against Green Bay likely was his best ever. "Maybe," Roethlisberger said as to whether this has been his best season. "Statistically I think so in certain categories. I've never missed a practice. It's the first time in six years I've never missed a practice because of injury or whatever. So I think that has translated onto the football field and my play has been better."

No offense to the many Steeler fans here but the defense has carried this team for the most part, though the QB often gets all the credit.
