On last Thursday’s episode of Steelers Stat Geek, I was tackling the question submitted by a listener as to what sort of statistics Ben Roethlisberger would need in order to win NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 2020. Currently the favorite to win the award according to most oddsmakers (although some have him tied with Rob Gronkowski), what type of seasoning would Ben Roethlisberger need in order to take home the individual hardware?
First and foremost, I have to give the disclaimer that winning this award is not ultimately important. It is not Ben Roethlisberger’s goal to win Comeback Player of the Year.
