Big Ben breaks completion mark

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has now completed more passes than any player in team history.

Roethlisberger hit tight end David Johnson for a 9-yard gain early in the fourth quarter on Sunday against Cincinnati, giving him 2,026 completions to pass Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw’s record.

Roethlisberger finished 15 of 23 for 176 yards and two touchdowns before giving way to Charlie Batch in the fourth quarter with the Steelers holding a sizable lead. He already holds nearly 40 team records and is second in attempts, career passing yards and career passing touchdowns, trailing Bradshaw in each category.
