Mendenhall by a long shot.

He did everything right. His ability to run so great opened up the pass game.

No doubt it's Mendenhall

Almost 30 carries without putting it on the deck, 160+ and 2 TDs

Otherwise it's Big Ben. Though, it can be said that Ben is the Steel Tough Player of the Team.

Mendy gets it. Nobody expected him to come out and destroy them like he did.

Rashard Mendhenhall earned his Steelers tough award this week. If he plays next week because FWP is injured and plays just as well. It's gonna be hard to sit him, IMO.

Mendenhall, but I continue to be amazed by Ben. Dude is tearing it up. 4 dropped passes tonight of good passes and he still completed nearly 79% of his passes.

Sick.

But...but...Ben sucks when he throws more than 30 times!!!!!

Cool

R.M.

I expected a 100 yard game, I thought they would have rotated R.M. and M.M. to combine for 100.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Keep it up R.M.

Can I nominate the whole offensive line? Dare I say those guys were ... dominant?!

Great pass protection and amazing run blocking. The Chargers had no shot because the big guys were straight giving punishment.

For me its a no-brainer - Mendenhall.

Hines Ward reminded me why he's one of my favorite players of all time though. 8 for 113 at 33 years old.

I saw Wallace, who is 10 years younger than Ward, slide on one play and run out on another and Hines put his head down and truck DBs all night.

It's not listed but I am going to say the OL because Ben, Mendenhall and others would have done nothing without their ability to control the line of scrimmage.

Since we are talking about toughness here, I can't help but vote for a 3 way tie between mendy, kemo, and ward for this game.

pssssh why is Ben on here? Everyone knows he only succeeds cause his defense is amazing and never does anything like, say, giving up 3 touchdowns in the 4th quarter Rolling Eyes
