Big Ben Broken But Not Beaten


Remember when some individuals truly questioned Ben Roethlisberger's toughness when he sat out last year's game in Baltimore using a concussion. Yup. Those individuals are looking foolish now.

The Steelers quarterback overcame a broken nose, a broken proper foot, a sore knee and a relentless Ravens defense to lead the Steelers to a hard-fought 13-10 victory in Baltimore on Sunday evening.

Roethlisberger mentioned he broke his nose within the very first quarter when he absorbed a blow from Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngata,Wholesale Jerseys, whose fist somehow managed to penetrate Roethlisberger's facemask. What's it about Massive Ben that attracts punches? A couple of weeks ago, Raiders tackle Richard Seymour knocked down Roethlisberger having a proper cross. On Sunday, Ngata clubbed Huge Ben with a left hook that left him bleeding on the field.

Oh, by the way, no flag was thrown on Ngata's hit. I thought defenders are supposed to stay clear of a quarterback's head? I guess that rule doesn't apply to Large Ben.

Playing using a heavily bandaged appropriate foot,Cheap Jerseys, Roethlisberger struggled with his throws early. But as the game progressed,Wholesale Bvlgari Jewelry, the foot loosened up and so did the Ravens' secondary. Roethlisberger, functioning practically exclusively out from the shotgun or pistol formation, started to move somewhat greater in and out of the pocket, and he was capable of make enough plays inside the passing game to lead his group to a titanic road victory.

Trailing 10-6 late within the fourth quarter and facing first-and-goal, Roethlisberger broke free in the grasp of Ravens defensive end/linebacker Terrell Suggs and flipped the ball out of bounds to avoid the sack. Two plays later, Roethlisberger hit Isaac Redman on a check-down pass that ended up being the game-winning touchdown.

After the game, Huge Ben stood ahead of a group of reporters and joked that he felt like he just went twelve rounds with Manny Pacquiao. Massive Ben might happen to be battered and beaten physically against the Ravens,Wholesale NCAA Jerseys, but his competitive spirit was intact.

It wasn't the prettiest game Roethlisberger has played in his career, but it was certainly one particular of the gutsiest. Despite all his limitations,Air Conner Venting Shoes, he found a way to beat the Ravens.
