Ben Roethlisberger Says Aaron Rodgers Missing Deep Balls at Unprecedented Rate
World Sports · 13:53:56 - Friday, 6 November 2026

Pittsburgh Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger has expressed concern over Aaron Rodgers' recent form, stating he has never seen the four-time NFL MVP miss as many deep passes as he has this season.

Roethlisberger, speaking on his podcast, noted that Rodgers "has been a little bit off" and highlighted the quarterback's uncharacteristic inaccuracy on long throws.

The comments come as Rodgers, now with the New York Jets, has faced scrutiny over his performance following his return from an Achilles injury. Additionally, Rodgers recently raised safety concerns about the playing surface at Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, calling it "one of the worst playing surfaces in the league" and saying it "doesn't feel very safe."
