#1 Ben’s 20-yard scramble vs Bills

This was more of a back and forth game than it should have been for the Steelers. Playing against a subpar Bills team in Week 12, 2010, the two teams exchanged blows and mistakes, alike. This game also included one of the best interceptions of Troy Polamalu’s career off a deflection.

Tied 13-13 with nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the Steelers faced a third down and 18 from their own 29 yard-line. Pressure got to Roethlisberger before he shook off two potential sacks and he took off to his right. There was no one in front of Roethlisberger for more than 20 yards, and he took off.

This was definitely after Ben’s early days where he had solid mobility, but he outran multiple Bills defensive linemen and beat safety Jarius Byrd to the first down chain, giving the Steelers an all-important first down.

This game is more infamous for Stevie Johnson dropping a wide-open touchdown in overtime and then blaming God, which led to the Steelers winning on a Shaun Suisham field goal, but this was the ultimate Ben play. Pittsburgh ended up going to the Super Bowl that season, playing the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV.
