Did Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger have a great season in 2018? A good one? It depends on which numbers you choose to look at. The number that matters most is 9-6-1, the record that he led the Steelers to this year, which wasn’t good enough to make it to the playoffs.
At the same time, he threw for over 5000 yards, with 34 touchdown passes, both franchise records, and posted one of his highest completion percentages to boot. He also threw a league-leading 16 interceptions and lost a couple of fumbles, and he had justifications—or attempts at justifications—for many of those turnovers over the course of the season.
