Ben Roethlisberger completed 14-of-26 passes in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Vikings at Heinz Field. He threw one touchdown pass and no interceptions.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports Minnesota Vikings DT Kevin Williams said the defense needs to wrap up Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger when they have the chance because of his ability to extend plays.
