Only seven quarterbacks in NFL history have been sacked more than Ben Roethlisberger, yet any opposing defender or coach will tell you he’s one of the most difficult passers to drop.
“The real problem with Ben is you can’t get him down all the time,” Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton said. “You can be on him, but he’s so big and so strong. And he has this ability to be warding off defenders but his eyes and vision are down the field.”
So perhaps the Chiefs, preparing to meet Roethlisberger and the Steelers on Sunday night in Pittsburgh, will find a solution similar to last week.
