NFL Overreactions: Big Ben finished, Jets getting started

Big Ben is cooked.

Maybe Ben Roethlisberger should've retired when he contemplated hanging up his cleats in the offseason. He suddenly turned into Ryan Fitzpatrick, tossing a career-high five interceptions in Pittsburgh's 30-9 loss to Jacksonville on Sunday.

Roethlisberger threw more touchdowns to the Jaguars than his own team, a week after Antonio Brown's threw a sideline "temper tantrum" because the veteran quarterback didn't see him wide open.

Roethlisberger connected with Brown 10 times for 157 yards against the Jaguars, but he tossed Pick 6s on consecutive series. The poor performance left him wondering if he lost it.
