Le'Veon Bell, Steelers running back
Not close to his best game, but Bell upped his workload with 27 carries to help protect the Steelers' second-half lead.
Xavier Rhodes, Vikings cornerback
Rhodes tracked Antonio Brown expertly. A pass interference call was the lone blunder in an otherwise A-effort.
Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers quarterback
In the lopsided win, Big Ben completed 23 of 35 passes for 243 yards and two TDs. Hard to argue with that.
