Much is made of the games in which Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger plays on the road against two of his divisional opponents, the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals. The league’s two Ohio-based teams have served as the feeding ground for some of the most dominant and lopsided contests in favor of one quarterback in NFL history.
With Sunday’s win in Cleveland, Roethlisberger has now defeated the Browns 24 times during his career. He has also defeated the Bengals exactly 24 times during his career in the regular season—and twice more in the postseason.
With Sunday’s victory, he became just the second quarterback in NFL history to record 24 or more victories against multiple opponents, and even if his name wasn’t in the headline, I’m sure you would have guessed that the first was Tom Brady.
