PITTSBURGH -- Ben Roethlisberger makes no apologies for his 12 interceptions, tied with Ryan Fitzpatrick for second-most in the NFL.
Shooters shoot.
"I'm a quarterback that is going to go out and sling it," said Roethlisberger on his weekly radio show Tuesday.
Roethlisberger is putting up prolific numbers for the 7-3-1 Steelers, ranking second in the league with 3,664 passing yards and tied for seventh with 24 touchdowns. But he isn't afraid to take chances, resulting in 55 interceptions in 52 regular season games dating back to 2015.
He's one of five quarterbacks with at least 50 interceptions during that span, including Jacksonville Jaguars' Blake Bortles (59 in 57 games), Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Jameis Winston (55 in 51), New York Giants' Eli Manning (50 in 58) and Sunday's opponent in Heinz Field, Los Angeles Chargers' Philip Rivers (50 in 59).
