Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers break NFL record for two-pointers

PITTSBURGH -- Every trip to the end zone deserves eight points, as the Pittsburgh Steelers see it.

The Steelers on Sunday set a new NFL record for successful two-point conversions in a season. Ben Roethlisberger's pass to fullback Will Johnson to the back of the end zone was the Steelers' seventh two-pointer of the year, breaking the previous record of six held by the 1994 Miami Dolphins and the 1997 Vikings.

To keep everyone guessing, the Steelers kicked the extra point on their next score, a touchdown pass to Markus Wheaton with 10 seconds left.

The Steelers lead 21-10 at the half.
