When Ben Roethlisberger took the field today, he played in the 221st game of his career, all of them as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, going from 2004 all the way to the present day. That is now one more than anybody else has ever played in franchise history, surpassing Mike Webster for that honor, though the latter would play 25 more games with the Kansas City Chiefs.
“It’s such an honor to be up there with that name, with Mike Webster, what he meant for this franchise, the Hall-of-Famer, the person, and we all know the story, but what he did”, Roethlisberger said about reaching that milestone after the game.
