Roethlisberger named AFC player of week

The NFL today named Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger the AFC offensive player of the week.

Roethlisberger completed 26 of 41 passes for 309 yards and three touchdowns in a 26-21 victory at Jacksonville Sunday. He threw one interception when receiver Santonio Holmes fell down.

Roethlisberger threw the winning touchdown pass of eight yards to Hines Ward with 1:53 left.

After the game, Roethlisberger signed a lucrative endorsement deal with extra-strength Tylenol.
