Vote for who you think is the Steelers 2014 MVP

Three other times in franchise history, the Steelers selected two players as their team MVP. It would seem 2014 has an outstanding chance of becoming the fourth split vote in the 45 years the team has been giving out the award.

Linebacker David Little and cornerback Rod Woodson shared it in 1988. LB Joey Porter and wide receiver Hines Ward took home the trophies in 2002 and Ward and nose tackle Casey Hampton split the award in 2005.

This year, even coming up with two would be a challenge.

Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is a big game away from eclipsing 5,000 passing yards for the first time in Steelers' history. He's already topped the franchise records for completions and yards, and needs two touchdowns Sunday against Cincinnati to tie his record for touchdown passes in a season.

Wide receiver Antonio Brown set new franchise marks in receptions and receiving yards, and with one more touchdown, he'll set a new franchise mark in scoring receptions with 13. Brown may end up leading the NFL in receiving yards and catches when it's all said and done.

Running back Le'Veon Bell broke the team's record for yards from scrimmage, and obliterated the club record for receptions by a running back. Heading into Week 17, he sits just 25 yards behind Dallas' DeMarco Murray for the league lead in yards from scrimmage.

Pick any one of these three over the other. You can do it, but it seems like the vote would be split. Pick any of the two and you're leaving someone worthy off the list.

What about adding in James Harrison? He brought a run-stopping presence the team simply did not have until around midseason - when Harrison (signed before the team's Week 4 game) got his football legs under him. Or Cameron Heyward, who perhaps quietly is having an excellent all-around season, and is now the top dog on the Steelers' defense. William Gay has three interception return touchdowns (franchise record) and is the only consistent cornerback playing for the Steelers right now.

Roethlisberger said he's voting for Heath Miller, who's also an excellent candidate. Left tackle Kelvin Beachum is having a breakout season, while linebacker Lawrence Timmons is more quietly having perhaps his finest year.

Let's put it to a vote. Who is the Steelers' 2014 Team MVP? We'll have a run-off vote if any one candidate fails to capture 40 percent or more of the vote.
