Roethlisberger completed 40 of 55 passes for 380 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 34-27 victory over the Broncos. He also lost three yards on three carries and was sacked three times on the afternoon.

Big Ben equaled the season-high 55 attempts he'd amassed in Week 12 versus the Seahawks, and once again did so against one of the league's top defensive units. Roethlisberger was considerably impressive against a Broncos secondary that had come into the game as the stingiest in the league in virtually every defensive metric versus the pass, managing the highest passing-yardage and scoring totals amassed against them this season. He managed to find Antonio Brown an astounding 16 times on the day, a total all the more jaw-dropping when factoring in that many of the connections were at the expense of shutdown corner Chris Harris. Roethlisberger's 72.7 completion percentage for the game represented the fourth time that the 12-year veteran has impressively been north of 70 percent accuracy in a game this season, and he's now collected seven touchdown passes over two of the last three weeks. Roethlisberger's pass attempts experienced a significant uptick after LeVeon Bell's Nov. 1 season-ending knee injury, and his arm wil be an integral factor in Pittsburgh's season-ending playoff push over the final two weeks of the season.
