Second Toughest Quarterback to Face – Ben Roethlisberger

Love him or hate him, Ben Roethlisberger is still one of the best quarterbacks in the entire National Football League. The guy has two Super Bowl rings and has appeared in three total Super Bowls.

Simply put – Big Ben is a force to be reckoned with, and he’s had the Chiefs’ number since entering the league in 2004.

The Chiefs have been fortunate that they haven’t had to square off against him much, but being at the top of the pack means having to face the other top dogs. Roethlisberger is certainly one of the top dogs in the NFL.

The Chiefs see Roethlisberger and the Steelers on Sunday Night Football in week four, which will be one of the toughest games they’ll play all season. To make it worse – The Chiefs have to play the Steelers IN Pittsburgh, so forget about that loud Arrowhead crowd maybe swaying the direction of the game.

Big Ben is 4-1 against Kansas City, and likely would have been 5-1 had he played in the game at Arrowhead last season. Roethlisberger sat that one out, and that win against the Steelers began the ten-game winning streak for the Chiefs.

Not only can Roethlisberger sling the ball well, but he’s a huge guy and tough to bring down. He can scramble and is honestly one of the best quarterbacks in all of the NFL right now.

The Chiefs have been fortunate that they haven’t had to square off against him much, but being at the top of the pack means having to face the other top dogs. Roethlisberger is certainly one of the top dogs in the NFL.
