Without the All-22, it’s impossible to breakdown all five of Ben Roethlisberger’s interceptions in one evening. We certainly will during the week. But for now, I wanted to look at the second INT he threw, the first pick-six that got the ball rolling for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
To sum up, on 2nd and 11 from their 22, Roethlisberger tried to hit Antonio Brown on a slant. The pass was tipped by NT Arby Jones and picked by LB Telvin Smith. How it happened is much more interesting. One issue is that Roethlisberger has been forcing some of his slants in recent weeks, including twice in last Sunday’s win over the Baltimore Ravens.
