Steelers must keep scoring

and 66 attempts Sunday night were Steelers records and his 506 passing yards made him the first quarterback in NFL history to have three 500-yard games.

“He’s a winner,” Le’Veon Bell said. “That’s why I’m glad to play with him.”

Roethlisberger feels the same way about Bell, who has six consecutive primetime home games with at least 100 scrimmage yards. His 125 yards against the Ravens gave him 7,734 in his first 60 NFL games, more than any back.

“I make my plays here and there,” Bell said.

Here, there and everywhere.

Bell scored three touchdowns against the Ravens. The first came when he lined up wide and beat safety Tony Jefferson with a slant for a 20-ayrd catch, the second on a 1-yard run when he knocked Jefferson into next week and the third on an 11yard run when he started off left guard and cut back all the way to the right sideline.

“Give him what he wants. He deserves it,” Foster said of Bell, who wants to be paid as the NFL’s best running back/wide receiver.

As of now, Brown is the league’s highest-paid receiver. His streak of primetime home games with at least two touchdown catches ended at four against the Ravens, but his performance was among the best of his career. He set up a touchdown with a 28-yard catch, a field goal with a 43-yard catch, another touchdown with a 57yard catch and the winning field goal with a 34-yarder. He finished with 11 catches for 213 yards.

“Other teams have to be saying, ‘Mama, there go that man again,’” Foster said, grinning. “The catches he makes. The plays he makes. Amazing.”

Brown has 580 regularseason catches for 7,824 yards in the past five seasons, both records for an NFL receiver over a fiveyear period. He still has three games to add to those totals. He’ll do it significantly, if Roethlisberger has his way.

“I just trust and believe in him,” Roethlisberger said. “Our chemistry together is something pretty special. I know some people out there say I abandon my reads and go right to A.B. That’s not always true, but, sometimes, who wouldn’t?”

Through Sunday, Roethlisberger led the NFL in passing yards, Bell in rushing and scrimmage yards and Brown in receptions and receiving yards. Tom Brady was expected to pass Roethlisberger in the Patriots’ game Monday night.

“Get them the ball and something magical is going to happen,” Rosie Nix said of his prolific teammates.

“Those dudes are HOF. Easily,” Foster said. You know, Hall of Fame. Roethlisberger, Bell and Brown figure to have to keep making plays if the Steelers are going to beat the Patriots Sunday and in the AFC championship. Their defense is hemorrhaging yards and big plays and might not get better soon because of Ryan Shazier’s spinal-cord injury and uncertainty about Joe Haden, who has missed the past four games because of injury. Joe Flacco led a Ravens offense that put up 38 points and 413 yards and — I’m probably not breaking a story here — he’s no Brady.

“I’m confident that our offense can go out there and score whenever we need to score,” Bell said. “We have the playmakers to do it. We have the quarterback to do it. We have the offensive line to do it.”

Here’s the best part, perhaps:

The game doesn’t have to be at night, Bell said.

“We’ve been pretty good at 1 p.m., too.”

Touche.
