Ben Roethlisberger Geeks Out Over Tom Brady, Asks For Patriots QB’s Jersey

It’s not very often NFL players are excited to see Tom Brady and the New England Patriots come to town, but that’s what happened Sunday.

The Patriots played their Week 7 matchup in Pittsburgh and took home a 27-16 win with Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on the sideline nursing a knee injury. But before the game, Showtime’s “Inside the NFL” caught Big Ben tracking Brady down to chat before making a little request.

“I’ve never done this before, but I would love to get a jersey at some point,” Roethlisberger said to Brady. “It’d mean — there’s not many that I want in my office. You’re the best, dude.”

Even Big Ben fans out a little for @Patriots' #12.
