Roethlisberger completed 25-of-37 passes for 340 yards and six touchdown in Sunday's 43-23 win over the Ravens. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis:The Pittsburgh offense got off to a slow start, ending each of its first four drives with a punt. Then, the Steeler defense came up with back-to-back turnovers in the second quarter to set up a pair of Roethlisberger touchdown passes on short drives. The rest came easy, as Roethlisberger added a third scoring toss right before the half and another three after the break, becoming the first player in NFL history with 12 passing touchdowns over a two-game period. While he took advantage of a couple injury-marred secondaries to set the record, Roethlisberger more than did his part by displaying unusually good accuracy in two straight games against teams with winning records. Improvement on the offensive line has also helped vault the Pittsburgh passing attack to new heights, as have the recent contributions from rookie wideout Martavis Bryant. But, above all, Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown are both playing at a very high level right now, with no signs of slowing down. The highly vulnerable Jets secondary is likely in for a long afternoon at the Meadowlands in Week 10.
