The #Steelers went into 2021 believing this was the final season for Ben Roethlisberger. Now, he tells reporters: “Looking at the bigger picture, I'd say all signs are pointing to this could be it. Regular season that is. We still have a chance to potentially get a playoff game."

He ranks inside the top-10 all-time in game-winning drives at 52 (third), comebacks with 40 (third), passing yards at 63,721 (fifth), passes completed with 5,386 (fifth), passes attempted at 8,353 (sixth), passing touchdowns with 416 (eighth) and playoff games started at 22 (ninth).

In 14 games this season, Roethlisberger has completed 65.2% of his passes for 3,373 yards, 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
