Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Roethlisberger completed 26 of 41 passes for a season high 309 yards and three touchdowns in the 26-21 win over Jacksonville.

He led the Steelers on an 11-play, 80-yard game-winning drive in the fourth quarter, capping it off with an eight-yard touchdown pass to Hines Ward.

The Steelers have a bye this weekend, and Roethlisberger plans on taking advantage of the time off to let his body heal.
