Power Ranking the 12 Quarterbacks in the NFL Playoffs
By Ryan Ratty
7. Ben Roethlisberger
The second-ranked offense in the league is led by Ben Roethlisberger. Before the season, many predicted that Todd Haley would need to have a good season to keep his job in 2015. However, Haley wouldn’t have had the success he’s had if it weren’t for Roethlisberger. The two-time Super Bowl champion has had quite the year in 2014. With Antonio Brown emerging and Le’Veon Bell coming out of nowhere, the Steelers are enjoying offensive success at a high clip. Although their defense isn’t anything to brag about, the Steelers deploy a high-octane offense and the main reason why is because of Roethlisberger.
Playing against Baltimore, Roethlisberger will have a chance to go 2-1 in the season series, as both teams have already beaten each other when they’ve been at home. The Steelers have won four in a row and although Bell will likely sit out in the wild card round because of a knee injury, it is reassuring for Steelers fans to know that Roethlisberger is the Steelers’ quarterback and he will have his way against a secondary that gave up the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2014.
