Roethlisberger and the Steelers got the ball back with just over two minutes left after an end-zone interception but was denied a chance at the record when the Steelers ran the ball to try to milk the clock.īreaking the all-time mark against the Colts would've been especially impressive. Schaub and Warren Moon are tied for second all time with 527 yards, with Schaub hitting his mark in an overtime game in 2012 for the Houston Texans. His 522 yards tied for the fourth-most all time with Boomer Esiason, who hit the mark in 1996 with the Arizona Cardinals. Roethlisberger completed 40 of 49 passes for 522 yards and six touchdowns, which are both Steelers records.
There have been only 16 500-yard passing games in NFL history. Roethlisberger's previous high was 503 against the Green Bay Packers in 2009. 28, 1951 - had been approached many times in recent seasons, including by Matt Schaub, Matthew Stafford, Tony Romo and others, but never broken. The record - 554 yards by the Los Angeles Rams' Norm Van Brocklin against the New York Yanks back on Sept. Ben Roethlisberger came up 33 yards short of the NFL’s all-time, single-game passing mark, but he became the only quarterback to hit the 500-yard mark twice in a career in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 51-34 victory against the Indianapolis Colts.
