    BEREA, Ohio -- Jerome Harrison had the third-best rushing performance in NFL history Sunday in Kansas City and didn't win the AFC offensive player of the week award.

    The awared went to Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who passed for 503 yards and three touchdowns in a last-second win over Green Bay.

    Harrison broke Jim Brown's franchise rushing record for a game with 286 yards on 34 attempts. He scored three touchdowns in the second half of the Browns' 41-34 win in Kansas City.

    "I guess he needed to get to 300 to get that (award)," joked coach Eric Mangini.

    Harrison was unfazed by the snub.

    "He deserves it," he said of Roethlisberger. "He's a household name, won Super Bowls. Made a hell of a play to win the game. I'm not mad about it. I don't play for accolades anyway. I just play to win and have fun."

    Yeah, but.

    "I won't miss not one second of sleep over it," Harrison maintained.

    Josh Cribbs -- the other Browns' record-setter in the Kansas City game -- did win the honor for AFC special teams player of the week.

    Cribbs had kickoff returns for touchdowns of 100 and 103 yards.

    It's the third time Cribbs has won the award in his career and the second this season.

  • This is a xxxxing joke. A guy who passes Jim Brown for 286 yards in a single game and is in the all time single game rushing

    record with Brown, Peterson and Lewis.

  • Sounds like the NFL is getting desperate with getting Pittspuke and Dallas back into the playoff hunt.

    Pure Media Hype.

  • CAn't say Ben didn't deserve it passing for 500 yards and the game winning TD with no time left.

    So, what?

    It's just another game, and an another day. Sure, sure, it's a team record. But what about Harrison? His name will forever be in the record books.

    And xxxx the awards, they are just fo' show.

    Well his win kept his team in the playoff race.

    Jerome's rushing record helped the Browns beat Kansas City.

  • Harrison has the third most rushing yard in a single game. Ben's performance has only been done twice before both by HOFers. Its unfornunate for Harrison that his legendary performance came on the week of an even better legendary performance.

    I know AP has the single-game rushing record, and Harrison has third place. Isn't Jamal Lewis in second place? In an era of passing the 3 best single-game rushing performances have been done by current players, two of which play for the same team.

  • Big Ben had a great game, agreed, but even Steeler fans have to agree Harrison deserved this. Come on....

    These awards are rather pointless, but Ben's performance (500+ yards, 0 INTs, 3 TDs)has only been done twice before, both by HOFers. Plus Ben's 3rd td was a dramatic game winner with no time left, something the other two didn't do.

    There are a few reasons Ben won it over Harrison:

    1. The Steeler game was nationally televised, while the Brown's game was the least viewed out of all 4:15 games that day.

    2. Ben's final TD was a dramatic game winner in one of the most exciting regular season game this year.

    3. Like Harrison said, Ben is a Super Bowl winner and a household name.

    4. Overall, fans are more interested in all that passing offers than handing a ball off.

    5. Harrison's performance was against the Chiefs, Ben's was against a top 5 defense one of if not the best secondary.

  • At the very least they should have been Co-Offensive Players of the week.

  • Big Ben deserved it more plus we are still in the playoff hunt whereas the Browns aren't.

    Big Ben also has two Super Bowl rings. nuff said on that!

    It goes by who has the most votes so the only way that could happen is if they tied. Thats very unlikely and never happened before. But if the gave out a co-player of the week it wouldn't be fair to Ben as rightfully he was the winner. Although, I certianly wouldn't complain about the two winning a co-award as both were more than deserving of the award. These two players put up what will likely finish as by far the two best performances of the year.

    You know how gay you sound when you call him Big Ben? The only thing he deserved was the tears on his team face that day we ruined there playoff hope's.

    Oh, we xxxxed up your conference record bitch!

    I know AP has the single-game rushing record, and Harrison has third place. Isn't Jamal Lewis in second place? In an era of passing the 3 best single-game rushing performances have been done by current players, two of which play for the same team.

    Just a correction: BR's total of 503 yards is NOT only the third 500 yard game in history. Here are the players with 500 yard passing games:

    Norm Van Brocklin 554

    Warren Moon 527

    Boomer Esiason 522

    Dan Marino 521

    Phil Simms 513

    Drew Brees 510

    Vince Ferragamo 509

    Y.A. Tittle 505

    Elvis Grbac 504

    Ben Roethlisberger 503

    And you are right about Lewis and Harrison, though Lewis is really no longer playing because he is on IR, and says he is retiring after this year.

    What is "offensive player of the week" going to get BR or Harrison?: Dick.

    And it ain't gonna get them no Super Bowl.

    As for being in the playoff hunt....mathematically correct.

    But it was mathematically possible for me to win the 170 million dollare MegaMillions jackpot when I bought a ticket.

    I didn't win, and neither will Steelers make the playoffs.

    Yes, I know Ben is the 10th player in league history with 500+ passing yards (and 9th player to win a game with 500+ passing yards) But 7 of the players on that list either threw less than 3 tds or threw a pick. When you factor in having thrown 3+ tds and not throwing a pick that list narrows down to Ben and HOFers Warren Moon and Y.A. Tittle.

    Yeah, the Steelfags are in the playoff hunt only if you consider the fact that they have to win both of their remaining games and the Broncos and Ravens have to both lose both of their remaining games while the Jaguars, Dolphins, and Jets ALL have to lose one of their remaining games to really be "in the playoff hunt." The Squeelers are in nothing, they don't control their own destiny, not even the officials on their payroll can them out now. It would be a miracle if the Steelfags somehow backed their way in.. please DO hold your breath waiting for the Squeeler's next playoff game, probably sometime in 2029.
