No matter the competition, Ben Roethlisberger wants to win.
Whether it is a double-elimination shuffleboard tournament, a makeshift game of basketball with balled-up tape and a garbage can inside the Steelers locker room or 18 holes of golf, Roethlisberger is intent on coming out on top.
He has to win.
“Ever since I’ve know Ben, it has been about winning,” quarterbacks coach Randy Fichtner said.
There is no other option to Roethlisberger.
“When it comes to winning, it’s black and white to him,” teammate Willie Colon said. “To him, winning is the only stat.”
So it came as no surprise that Roethlisberger said he had no idea he is a 287-yard passing game away from surpassing Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw’s 27,989 yardage mark and becoming the franchise’s all-time passing leader.
The only number Roethlisberger concerns himself with is four, as in the Super Bowl championships Bradshaw won.
“To pass a great like that is an awesome honor,” Roethlisberger said. “But he has the championships, and that’s what I have always based my play on. My goal from the day I came in here was to get more championships than anybody out there.”

You will never guess who informed Roethlisberger that he was about to break Bradshaw's record
ME!
Yes, I was the one who informed Ben Roethlisberger that he was about to become the Steelers' all-time leading passer.
It was a week ago that I got Roethlisberger 1-on-1 to ask him about him close to passing Terry Bradshaw on the franchise's passing list, and he really had no clue.
So I asked quarterback coach Randy Fichtner ... and he had no clue. So I asked Byron Leftwich ... and he had no clue.
Some say it is all a show that Ben says he doesn't care about stats. I am here to tell you that Roethlisberger really doesn't care about record and stats. Trust me.

| I think Ben'll get it today, as I expect a BIG game in Nashville.
