This streak came crashing to a half as Rothelisberger led the Steelers to a triumph, giving Pittsburgh the edge in the AFC.

But two botched New York Jet field goal tries allowed Rothelisberger to lead the Steelers to a field goal triumph, and left Big Ben with a record as a starter. His winning streak, however, came to an end in the AFC Championship Game to the revenge-minded New England Patriots, who picked off Rothelisberger three times; a 2nd-quarter pick was returned by Rodney Harison for a back-breaking touchdown. Rothelisberger threw two touchdown passes but could not overcome the Superbowl-bound Patriots in a drilling of the Steelers.

Oct 24, Raymond L Hall said: But take a step back and go back to when Terri B got hurt and Gillium came in and took them to the playoffs TB got back in and took the team, to the playoffs and also won the Superbowl,Yes, Ben won two super bowls but there is no denying that if we had a young strong QB that was accurate and could deliver the long ball to all of our great receivers not only would that pick up the office but also the defense. Ben has done for the Steelers he looks really bad in areas that matter the most. Passes not on target, no zip or zing in the ball. And yes I would bench Ben if I was the coach. I would also fire the HC and DF coaches right now. Panthers not sure but Bell is back. I use to think Ben could do anything. I think he has problems with his eyes. What I am saying is that the organization has decided not to take that route and allow Ben to play. Because of this, we have to accept both the peaks and the valleys that are inherent to his performance. The entire organization allows Ben to do whatever he wants. This includes throwing coaches under the bus during interviews. Ben both is and has always been inconsistent. This inconsistency is usually attributed to poor offensive line play, but, if you look closely, Ben often refuses to take what the defense gives him and attempts to impose his will on the game. Despite how talented Ben might be, he does not have the ability to take over a game the way Brady, Brees and Rodgers can because of his approach and, more recently, inaccuracy with the long ball. However, with the league changing rules to both favor offense and hobble defense, combined with an average-at-best showing by the Steelers defense when compared to the new rules culture in the NFL, now we see that the offense has to carry more of the load. They have the talent, but not always the discipline to get it done. This on-field discipline must be led by Ben. If the defense does not play well down the stretch, then the Steelers struggle. Haley attempted to instill this discipline, but he was run out of town. To be fair, even with Ben being Ben, the team has had success through these frustrating struggles.
