By now, you might have heard Ben Roethlisberger plays pretty well against the Baltimore Ravens. The Steelers have won seven games in a row in the contentious series with Big Ben at quarterback, including postseason wins last season and in 2008. They'll try to make it eight Sunday afternoon in Baltimore.
You probably also know some of Roethlisberger's signature moments against the Ravens. His five first-half touchdown passes and perfect 158.3 passer rating at Heinz Field in 2007. His winning 4-yard touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes with 43 seconds left at M&T Bank Stadium in '08. His 65-yard touchdown pass to Holmes in the AFC championship game at Heinz Field that same season. His winning 9-yard touchdown pass to Isaac Redman with 2:59 left at M&T Bank Stadium last season. The comeback he led from a 21-7 halftime deficit in a divisional playoff game at Heinz Field last season. His 58-yard pass to Antonio Brown to set up the winning touchdown in that game.
But you'll never guess the career highlight Roethlisberger most cherishes against the Ravens.
Would you believe it's his broken nose in the game in Baltimore last season?

| From the article:
"I know people say I hold the ball too long and take too many sacks,"
Roethlisberger said. "But I'd like to know how many other quarterbacks
would have taken a sack there. Time was running down. We were low on
timeouts. I'm just going to keep fighting for every yard. I'm always
going to fight for everything for my guys."

I would say 31 other ones, at least.
