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.

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.

It actually a little easier than that. If we win out the Dolphins or Ravens won't keep us from the playoffs. The Broncos just need to lose one game becuase we own the tiebreaker. They play Philly. Jaguars need to lose a game and they play the Pats in NE. The Jets need to lose just one and they play both the Colts and the Bengals. By the end of the week the Steeler could very well be in the playoffs with control of their destiny.

I didn't count the AAFC Championships because they are just that- AAFC Championships. We're talking about NFL Championships. If the times were so "cheesy" when we won the titles, where were the Steelers? If they truly are God's greatest team, you'd think they would have been winning back then, too.
And, to tell you the truth, I'd take football in the 50's, 60's and 70's over football today any day of the week. Those were American football's glory days. You didn't have prima donna receivers running their mouths and showboating. You didn't have thug linebackers killing people or beating their stripper girlfriends. Men played football to play the game, they weren't getting paid millions of dollars. In the late 1950's, the average player was earning less than $6,000 per season. The Baltimore Colts were known for paying their players in free beer. It wasn't until 1970 that a league minimum was even established, and even then it was set at a mere $10,000.
But you can say what you want, your opinion matters very little in this board. And in the real world, for that matter. In 5 years, you'll just be a Saints fan anyway.

So, Ben gets 500+ yards in a game, and wins. Brady Quinn got like 90 yards in the Browns win vs. the Steelers....a game far more significant to the Steelers than him getting those 500 yards vs. Green Bay.
Ask anyone: it was far more important for the Steelers to beat the Browns than to beat the Packers. That division/conference loss to the Browns was far more devastating than a loss to the Packers would have been.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to rub this in. I mean merely to remind you of the fact.
(By the way, did I tell you that the Steelers loss to the Browns was far more devastating to their playoff chances than a loss to the Packers would have been? Oh, I did remind you, OK)

It was an 8 team league....which was the same size essentially as the NFL.
If they were so cheesy, why couldn't the Steelers win one? I mean, they were in existance for 15 years before the Browns were created. They should have gotten a few if it were so easy. Even our Cleveland Rams got a title when the Pittsburgh area representative couldn't.

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.

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.
Harrison knows that the entire NFL knows he deserves that award. He's taking the high road which is commendable.
He may wind up being trade bait to help the team grow stronger too - yes I know no one wants to see him go but he can bring a wealth of picks and players in return. It's a win win for the Browns however... if he stays great, if he gets traded, they'll get a good return on him too.

Yes,it does take a bit of munipulation to get a list like that, but its just another way to one of the best single game passing performances in the history of the league in perspective. You bring up a good point in your other response. Ben is a great qb becuase of his ability to win a game of any magnitude, Not becuase of stats. Ben can nearly single-handedly win games for the Steelers, but sometimes just not making a big mistake can be good enough to win a few games. Any performance by a qb is acceptable as long as it doesn't set back the team from a win.
Statistically, the Browns loss certianly hurt our chances more than any loss this season. (We have had enough time to overcome being swepted by the Bengals and can still make up for the loss to the Ravens.) We still have a shot at a wildcard spot, and at this point in time I am more than happy with the shot we still somehow have.
