Winners: Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers

The Baltimore Ravens didn’t look so hot Sunday night, but Ben Roethlisberger might have torched them even if they were playing well.

For the second straight week, Roethlisberger threw for six touchdowns in routs which were over far before the final whistle.

Sure, the Ravens came back a bit, but Big Ben had an answer every time. While we were talking up Brady vs Manning No. 16, we should have been talking Roethlisberger, who is playing extraordinary football right now.

Can he make it three in a row against Tennessee next week?

Bonus points for throwing the six touchdowns without being dressed as a bumblebee.
