Overcoming a sluggish start—he completed just five of his first 10 passes for 22 yards, averaging 2.2 yards per pass attempt—Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger finished today’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals with his best overall performance of the season and in arguably the team’s most complete game so far.
When all was said and done, the 17th-year veteran fired off 46 passes without taking a sack, completing 27 of them for season highs of 333 passing yards and four touchdowns. For the seventh time this season, he did not throw an interception in a game—also the third game in a row.
