Five touchdown passes in five games puts Ben Roethlisberger in elite company
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger celebrates a touchdown against the Chiefs in the first quarter Sunday at Heinz Field.As it turned out, all Ben Roethlisberger needed was a little home cooking. One week after one of his more forgettable performances in a 34-3 loss in Philadelphia, Roethlisberger threw five touchdown passes in a victory over the Chiefs at Heinz Field.
Roethlisberger became the sixth quarterback in NFL history to throw five touchdown passes five times over the course of his career. Drew Brees (10), Peyton Manning (9), Dan Marino (6), George Blanda (5) and Tom Brady (5) also accomplished the feat.
