Week 3 BDML Players Of The Week

Ben Roethlisberger – QB – Pittsburgh Steelers

Big Ben was a huge part in his team’s victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Although it took him a while to get a pass in the end zone, he would end up throwing 4 of them. He didn’t score until nearly the end of the third quarter, buit after he did he would continue his ways. His biggest play though was with just under a minute left with the game tied, he would throw a 5e yard bomb to Mike Wallace to take the lead. Ben would end up going 14 for 23 for 340 yards and the 4 touchdowns with no interceptions. Having a very good rating of 137.2, it no surprise that Ben is the offensive player of the week.

Shaun Phillips – OLB – San Diego Chargers

Chargers linebacker Shaun Phillips was the key to their defense in the wim over the Jaguars. He recorded 5 tackles along with a forced fumble while the Jags were in the red zone and an interception after reading a screen play perfectly. Phillips is sometimes overlooked on the defense because of how well Shawn Merriman plays, but it’s very clear that he is a big reason why the Chargers are doing well. Expect good things to continue for Phillips and the Chargers defense.
