For all the talk about T.J. Watt and the sacks he’s put up five years into a future Hall of Fame career, there was one sack-related milestone that fell last night. Congratulations, Ben Roethlisberger. You’re the NFL’s most-sacked QB.
Taken down four times Monday night against the Chicago Bears, Roethlisberger has been dropped 534 times in his career. That makes him the most sacked quarterback ever, surpassing Tom Brady’s record of 533.
Coming into the year, Roethlisberger sat tied for third-most sacks by a QB ever, at 516 with his idol John Elway. Tom Brady sat in second place with 521 while Brett Favre held the record at 525.
