Against the best secondary in the NFL, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 24 of 37 passes for a completion percentage of 65, throwing for 339 yards. In 17 regular season and postseason games, the Broncos have only given up 300 yards through the air twice, and both games were helmed by Roethlisberger.
Of course, that didn’t translate into a victory this time around. Roethlisberger was unable to find the end zone through the air in the Mile High city yesterday, while he was able to do so three times when the Steelers played the Broncos in the regular season—though he also threw two interceptions.
