An amazing Roethlisberger stat through 3 games(3rd down)

[polamalubeast]

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has always been a top echelon quarterback, and now he is putting up the numbers that go along with being an elite quarterback.

Roethlisberger is 2nd in QB rating; 2nd in interceptions thrown; 4th in TD passes; 5th in yards per game and 5th in completion percentage.

But that stat that is truly amazing is third-down passer rating. Roethlisberger has a 146.8 passer rating on third downs. -- 28-of-37 for 374 yards and five touchdowns

Ben has been on fire so far. Wish some of that would rub off on the defense.

Yeah I have always felt confident in Ben's abilities to convert 3rd downs and it seems the longer the distance the better he gets. It has always seemed that the bigger the situation the better Ben performs. Not always but more times than not if the pressure is on Ben will deliver...at least in MHO.

You mean the defense isn't on fire from being burned so much?
