At this point in the post-Ben Roethlisberger era, it feels safe to look back on the last half decade with No. 7 at the helm of the Pittsburgh Steelers and realize that the old gunslinger got away with much more than he probably should have, in terms of throws on the field.
Of course, there were some very high moments throughout his late-career run that showed why Roethlisberger is ticketed for a first-ballot Hall of Fame induction, but the underlying numbers showed that there were plenty of instances where the future Hall of Famer got “lucky” on some throws, according to Football Outsiders.
