Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger racked up 351 yards through the air, but didn’t throw a touchdown pass until the final offensive play of the night when he located superstar wide receiver Antonio Brown in the back of the end-zone. Brown, who finished with nine catches for 133 yards and a score, extended his NFL record streak to 33 consecutive games with at least five receptions and 50 yards receiving.

He’s healthy and he looks like he’s primed for a historic fantasy campaign at the tight end position, look out. Not to be outdone, wide receiver Julian Edelman picked up right where he left off last season, catching 11 of his team-high 12 targets for 97 yards in the victory.
