Ben Roethlisberger Praises Okorafor For Handling Von Miller With Little Help

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was sacked just once in Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos, and that sack was on him. Put simply the ball should have already been out of his hands by then, if not well before. In fact, the pass protection was pretty strong overall, though they did throw the ball less often than they typically do.

Still, that’s not something you often get to say in a game in which Von Miller is on the field. The future Hall of Famer continues to play like one age the age of 32, but he didn’t have a great deal of impact on the game—officially credited with just two assists—and the right tackle deserves a lot of credit for that.
