Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger didn't play Week 7 against the New England Patriots because of a knee injury, but he still accomplished a first in the game.

Despite admitting it's not something he's ever done, a mic'd up Roethlisberger asked Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for his jersey when the two chatted on the field before the game.

It's a sign of respect from one of the NFL's best passers to another of the game's greats.

"There's not many (jerseys) that I want in my office," Roethlisberger said, before calling Brady "the best."

"I feel the same way," Brady responded.
