When the Steelers played the Colts here last October, Roethlisberger completed 40 of 49 passes for 522 yards and six touchdowns with no interceptions in a 51-34 win. The next week against Baltimore, he threw for 340 yards and six touchdowns with no interceptions in a 43-23 win.
It quite likely was the two best consecutive regular-season games in NFL history.
Roethlisberger was almost as good Sunday night. He led three consecutive scoring drives midway through the game, ending each with a touchdown pass to three different receivers. His 68-yard touchdown pass to Martavis Bryant early in the third quarter gave the Steelers a 28-10 lead.
It was the fourth consecutive game the Steelers offense scored at least 30 points. Roethlisberger started three of the games and came off the bench early in the fourth against Cleveland. In the four games, he completed 106 of 171 passes for 1,533 yards, 10 touchdowns and 4 interceptions.
