In this article, we’ll take a look at the career records of the two quarterbacks. One holds the record for most games with at least 500 passing yards, while the other has a few records of his own.

Ben Roethlisberger is the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl
In 2005, Ben Roethlisberger was the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl. He was 23 years old, but still beat Peyton Manning and the Seahawks 21-10. Since that win, the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl is a quarterback. But there are other young quarterbacks who have made it to the big game. Joe Burrow of the Bengals is the second-youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl.
Roethlisberger topped Tom Brady’s record as the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl by a few years. He surpassed Brady by one year. He is the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl and his first Super Bowl victory came at a younger age than most of his contemporaries. He completed nine passes for 123 yards and two interceptions in the game.
Roethlisberger is also the youngest starting quarterback to win a Super Bowl. He is just a few weeks shy of 24. Russell Wilson, a rookie from Washington, is the second black starting quarterback. He won Super Bowl IV and won the MVP award in Super Bowl VI. Among his many accomplishments, Roethlisberger’s most memorable moment is being named MVP in a Super Bowl.
While Roethlisberger hasn’t lived up to expectations in his first Super Bowl, his performance in the playoffs makes him one of the most decorated players in NFL history. His win percentage is a whopping.737, and his first Super Bowl came just a few years after he left LSU. He hasn’t played nearly as well in the postseason as the big game, but it didn’t matter.
Despite the young age, Roethlisberger is still the greatest Super Bowl quarterback of all time. He won Super Bowl XL at age 23. The previous record was held by Dan Marino and Tom Brady, both of whom were just 22 years old when they won Super Bowl XXII. However, Roethlisberger is a great example of the grit it takes to become a great quarterback.
Patrick Mahomes was drafted in 2017 and is a three-time MVP. His father, Pat, was a pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. So, it is no surprise that his son has the ability to throw a ball. But the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback’s son, Patrick, is also a great example. The young quarterback is only 24 years old, and could be the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl.
Patrick Mahomes became the third quarterback in NFL history to win two Super Bowls
With his performance against the Patriots in Super Bowl LIV, Patrick Mahomes became the third quarterback to win two Super Bowls in his career. The young quarterback won the MVP award for the game and was named the MVP of the game. He also became the youngest starting quarterback to win a Super Bowl. The second Super Bowl championship for a quarterback in his first three seasons is a feat that can only be matched by Tom Brady and Drew Brees.
Prior to making the leap to the NFL, Patrick Mahomes played baseball for seven seasons, spending time with the Minnesota Twins, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs, and Pittsburgh Pirates. In 308 games, he compiled a 5.47 ERA and 452 strikeouts. His skills in baseball were honed by a childhood spent around baseball.
The Chiefs’ victory over the Ravens is a testament to Patrick Mahomes’ uncanny ability to win big against the Ravens. Although they had already suffered one regular season loss to the Chiefs, they humiliated them on Monday Night Football. In 2020, the Chiefs will take on the Ravens in Super Bowl XXXIX. Unlike Mahomes, the Ravens have never won a Super Bowl.
In his first season, Patrick Mahomes shocked the NFL by throwing for 50 touchdowns and 5,000 yards. The Chiefs finished the regular season 12-4 and won the AFC West. The Chiefs went on to win the divisional round against the Indianapolis Colts and a game in the AFC Championship against the New England Patriots, but Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to their first Super Bowl championship in 50 years.
As the youngest player to start three Super Bowls, Patrick Mahomes will be the second youngest quarterback to win Super Bowls. He is one win away from achieving the impossible. If the Chiefs beat the Bengals in the AFC Championship Game, he will be the youngest quarterback to start three Super Bowls in NFL history. Tom Brady is the only other player to do so, and he will be 26 years and 149 days old at the time of Super Bowl LVI.
While it is rare for an NFL player to sign a contract that guarantees $140 million, this deal makes sense in this case. The Kansas City Chiefs will receive about $140 million of that guaranteed money if Mahomes wins the Super Bowl this year and again in 2021. The chiefs also reportedly invested in an insurance policy that covers Mahomes’ contract.
After the Chiefs’ rout of the Bengals in the AFC championship game, Mahomes was asked about the future of his legacy. He talked about how he was trying to determine how to shape his legacy. As the third quarterback in NFL history to win two Super Bowls, he also has the highest contract in North American sports. It is not an easy task to create a legacy in the NFL, but if Mahomes plays his game, he will leave a legacy that will last a lifetime.
Ben Roethlisberger holds record for most career games with over 500 passing yards
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is the unofficial president of the 500-yard club. Only five other quarterbacks have thrown for more than 500 yards in a game. In a 2009 game against the Green Bay Packers, Roethlisberger threw for 503 yards and a game-winning touchdown to Mike Wallace. That performance set a Steelers franchise record and he became only the second quarterback in NFL history to throw for at least 500 yards in a single game.
Despite being 35 years old, Roethlisberger has still managed to put up big numbers for the Steelers. He holds the record for the most career games with 500 passing yards and has been the Steelers’ starting quarterback for at least one season since 2004. This includes three straight games where he has surpassed the 500-yard passing mark. That’s more than any other quarterback in NFL history.
In 2005, Roethlisberger’s rookie season was a standout for the Steelers. He set career highs in total yards and completed 66.6% of his passes. After a dismal start to the season, Roethlisberger was unable to sustain his high level of play. His three-game streak ended with a loss to the Indianapolis Colts, but he finished the season with a 148.7 passer rating in the wild-card round. In that game, he was credited with a game-winning drive, and he also ran for the touchdown.
With over 500 passing yards in his career, Roethlisberger is the most prolific quarterback in NFL history. With 554 yards in 1951, he’s only the second quarterback to reach this mark. A record of 554 yards is still held by Norm Van Brocklin, who set the bar for most passing yards in a single game. The five-year streak also includes two other Hall of Famers: Tom Brady and Drew Brees.
Besides Roethlisberger, Dan Marino and Peyton Manning. Both quarterbacks have three or more 400-yard games. The Arizona Cardinals are now the fifth team in NFL history to have three or more 1,000-yard receivers in one season. Only three other quarterbacks have had this distinction in two seasons. So, what is Ben Roethlisberger’s record?
