What they’re saying

“For me personally, outside of Ben Roethlisberger's first start against the Browns since it was my first memory as a Steelers fan (another question we'll have to do soon), his scramble for a first down on 3rd-and-18 against the Buffalo Bills in 2010 is one of my favorite plays of his career. The Steelers went on to win 16-13 in overtime.”
