Big Game Ben

In his last Super Bowl, Ben Roethlisberger did this: 9-21, 123 yards, 1 rush TD, 2 picks. His QB raiting was 22.6, that's the lowest of any winning quarterback in the Super Bowl and lower than a lot of losers.

Yesterday, he completed less than 50% of his passes and most of his 255 yards passing seemed to come on yards gained by receivers after the catch (YAC).

The defense is the star of this team, no matter how much Jim Nantz gushes over Ben. And for all the raving over "Big Ben," doesn't he seem a bit fragile for a guy 6-5", 245?

They'll probably win the Super Bowl, but I think Ben is overhyped and I'm hoping the Cardinals can pull off their first Super Bowl win.
