And the Winner is

With the Steelers and Ben Roesthlisberger triumphing over the Patriots and Tom Brady, our eighth all-time contest between QB's with two or more Super Bowl rings is in the books.  Big Ben's win means that Jim Plunkett is now the only QB of the seven involved in these games who does not and will never have a win against one of the others.  He's also the only one who won't ever be inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  Coincidence?
