Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger both had great games in Week 2. It was a close race and Ben Roethlisberger is my choice as player of the week. Roethlisberger completed 21 out of 27 passes for 369 yards, 3 touchdowns and had a league-high 155.8 Quarterback Rating. Roethlisberger led the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 43-18 easy victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

Roethlisberger found his favorite target Wide Receiver Antonio Brown 9 times for 195 yards and Brown had one receiving touchdown. Brown 195 yards is the most receiving yards in a game this season by a player. Roethlisberger has thrown for 720 yards, 4 yards, 1 interception and has a 122.6 QB rating in two games this season.

Roethlisberger has thrown for over 350 yards in both games this season and has one of the top five Wide Receivers in the league. Roethlisberger is starting the season on a good note and should continue putting up good numbers the rest of the season.
