Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger are two of the most accomplished quarterbacks in the NFL. Each has experienced multiple Super Bowl wins. And each is uniquely dangerous for opposing defenses.
Since Roethlisberger became the starting quarterback for the Steelers during the 2004 season, the two have gone head-to-head eight times. Brady and the Patriots have emerged victorious in six of the games, with Roethlisberger winning the other two.
