Reshean Mathis eyeing more success against Ben Roethlisberger

Detroit Lions cornerback Rashean Mathis has revealed that he wants to continue his success against the Pittsburgh Steelers and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Mathis has recorded five interceptions in six games against the Steelers quarterback and has returned two of them for touchdowns.

He told the Detroit Free Press: "I just had good games, that's what it boils down to. Like I said, it easily could have been the other way.

"I've just played well against Pittsburgh, so, regardless of the quarterback, I just had a good game against him.

"If we're having this conversation after Sunday and I have another one, then I'll be smiling about it."

The Lions face the Steelers on Sunday in their week 11 clash.
