Ben Roethlisberger Declares the Steelers ‘The World’s Team’

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys are two of the NFL's most storied franchises. Between the two of them, they've won 11 of the 46 Super Bowls that have been played, with Pittsburgh taking six Lombardi trophies and Dallas taking five. The Steelers beat the Cowboys twice in the '70s, so these two have a pretty decent rivalry for being in different conferences.

They meet up this week in Dallas, and Steelers' QB Ben Roethilsberger isn't sold on the Cowboys being 'America's Team.' In fact, Ben told Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that if the Cowboys are America's team, then the Steelers are the 'World's team.' Okay, whatever. It's a pretty silly thing to say, but at least he's taking shots I guess. Both teams are in desperation mode for the playoffs, so maybe this nonsense will light some more fire for the game.
