Ben Roethlisberger 2nd In NFL In Big-Time Throws Per PFF

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been under fire this offseason, being criticized for his leadership skills and his handling of a variety situations. But last season he put a lot of defenses under fire, putting up some of the biggest passing numbers of his career, setting new highs in completions, yardage, and touchdowns.

So it’s no surprise to read that he was also among the league leaders in what Pro Football Focus calls ‘big-time throws’, finishing second with 42 over the course of the season, second only to Patrick Mahomes, who threw over 5000 yards with 50 touchdowns.
