In leading Pittsburgh to Chris Boswell's game-winning field goal with 42 seconds left, Roethlisberger recorded his 39th game-winning drive in the fourth quarter or overtime, the most in the NFL since he began his career in 2004. Roethlisberger's career-high 44 completions (on 66 attempts) Sunday were the most in a game since New England Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe had 45 (on 70 attempts) in a 1994 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Roethlisberger previously hit the 500-yard mark with 522 yards and six touchdowns in a 51-24 victory over Indianapolis in 2014 and 503 yards and three TDs in a 37-36 win over Green Bay in 2004. "Hall of Famer, it's as simple as that, and we are lucky he is on our team," Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey said. Roethlisberger, who had been one of only two quarterbacks - along with New Orleans' Drew Brees - with two 500-yard games, finished with 506 yards and two touchdowns in the 39-38 victory.
