Football, Ben Roethlisberger | featured news

Ben Roethlisberger threw a few extra passes in near darkness after the lights went out at Candlestick Park. The additional throws were all for naught. Big Ben never found his groove playing on a bum ankle - and the San Francisco 49ers' top-ranked defense wasn't about to let the most unique of home-field advantages get away in a 20-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night.

A most fitting comeback for Ben Roethlisberger. With the kind of playmaking that put two Super Bowl rings on his fingers, the Steelers quarterback connected on a 58-yard pass to rookie Antonio Brown with less than two minutes to go. The go-for-broke toss set up the winning touchdown in a rough-and-tumble 31-24 victory Saturday over the archrival Baltimore Ravens.
