    Just wanted to give a nice shout out to a few of our stellar players:

    Antonio Brown is the first player in Steelers history to record 1,000 receiving yards in five straight seasons. Jerry Rice holds the record in that category with 11... can he break it? AB also has 54 career receiving TDs, which is 3rd most in Steelers history.

    Le'Veon Bell broke Jerome Bettis' record for most yards from scrimmage in their first five years with the team with 7,244 all purpose yards. The Bus had 7,242, Franco had 5,947, Fast Willie had 5,622 and AB had 5,341.

    Chris Boswell is the 7th Steeler is our programs history with 70 FGs made. (only mentioned this one because due to our redzone blues this year he will be #1 in our record books in every kicking category, lol)

    oh, and the colts game marked Big Ben's 40th 4th quarter comeback win.

    Yes, the personal accolades for these great players are awesome to see, but more importantly they are helping us up the stairway to our 7th Lombardi! Here We Go!

    Good stuff!!! No way Brown breaks that record. Funny how the NFL has changed. The HOFer Lynn Swann never had a 900 yard season in 9 tries. The NFL and the Steelers played a different brand of football back then.

    Add to that Ben wont be here to give AB a shot at that record, we are going to down grade the QB position as soon as ben leaves, this transition could be painful to watch for at least a couple of years or more....

    Ben also became the 9th QB in NFL history with 4000 completions. Pretty sure that was the stat.

    Can't see that happening with 11 straight 1000 yard seasons with AB.

    You never know when an injury is going to happen. Although I will say, Brown has been lucky with that thus far.

    Plus I see production going down a bit once Ben retires.

    Unless the new guy comes in and develops chemistry.

    Rice had great chemistry with both Montana and Young. 3 Hall of Famers right there.

    But you can't doubt AB's work ethic he works as hard as Rice did.

    When your normal production is 1700-1800 yards ...

    Takes someone good to throw the ball. Look at AB's numbers when Landry has had to start, it's not pretty.

    You would have to hope the Steelers draft or sign a good QB to keep up with that 1700-1800 production.
