Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown shared a fruitful 8 years with each other at the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their partnership couldn’t deliver a Super Bowl to the Pennsylvania outfit, but it’d deliver quite the performances with the two on the pitch.

The two would grab 74 TDs between them during their time at the Steelers while progressing over 10k yards in just 8 years. Their relationship didn’t subside after Brown’s departure, as AB still holds Big Ben close to his heart.

Ben Roethlisberger, born in Lima Ohio, found his second home in Pennsylvania after being drafted back in 2004. Despite enduring the added pressure of being the first-round pick, the QB would quickly find his place in the Steelers roster. He’d make 16 starts in their SB-winning campaign back in 2005, putting up impressive numbers along the way. He’d prove his worth and standing in the NFL QB community by delivering a second SB in 2008, where he’d make 19 starts for the Steelers.

By the end of his career in the NFL, Big Ben cemented his standing as one of the top QBs in the division. He’d record over 450 TDs over the length of his career, and gain close to 70,000 yards. To top it all off, Ben Roethlisberger would be awarded with 6x Pro Bowls throughout his career.
