Ben Roethlisberger throws for 2 TDs as Steelers lock up first round bye
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger completed 20-of-29 passes for 226 yards and 2 touchdowns in Monday's win over the Houston Texans.
What It Means:
Roethlisberger connected with Justin Hunter for a 5-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter to put the Steelers up 10-0, before capping off the blowout win with an 18-yard scoring pass to JuJu Smith-Schuster in the fourth. It was a solid game for Roethlisberger without his number one receiver in Antonio Brown, and the bye will be a big help as Brown continues to get healthy.
numberFire's models projected Roethlisberger for 22.0 FanDuel points and he finished with 16.9 on Monday.
