Ben Roethlisberger passes Philip Rivers for fifth all-time in career passing yards

Ben Roethlisberger, potentially playing in his final season, continued to add to his Hall of Fame resume by moving into 5th All-Time in passing yards on a 3-yard completion to Najee Harris in the 2nd quarter of the Pittsburgh Steelers contest vs. the Tennessee Titans.

Roethlisberger needed 27 yards entering the game to pass Philip Rivers (63,440).  Roethlisberger eclipsed the long held standard set by Dan Marino (61,361) in Week 4 vs. the Green Bay Packers.  Number 4 on the list is Brett Favre with 71,838 yards, and while it is unlikely Roethlisberger will play long enough to pass that particular milestone, it is a testament to his magnificent career and it could be a long time until someone passes up Roethlisberger.

However, Roethlisberger is in range of another major career milestone, needing only 6 TDs (415) to pass Marino (420) and Rivers (421) on the All-Time TD list.
