Big Ben first QB to throw 500 yard games three times
Ben Roethlisberger became the first quarterback in NFL history to have three games of at least 500 yards passing when he led the Pittsburgh Steelers to a come-from-behind victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night.
Roethlisberger, who had been one of only two quarterbacks -- along with New Orleans' Drew Brees -- with even two 500-yard games, finished with 506 yards and two touchdowns in the 39-38 victory.
He previously hit the mark with 522 yards and six touchdowns in a 51-24 victory over Indianapolis in 2014, and 503 yards and three TDs in a 37-36 win over Green Bay in 2004.
Roethlisberger's 44 completions (on 66 attempts) are the most in a game since New England Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe had 45 (on 70 attempts) in a 1994 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
