Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will travel to play the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday and with that comes an opportunity to join a small exclusive club of quarterbacks that have beaten 31 of the 32 NFL teams.
Roethlisberger currently stands at 30 with the Falcons being the only NFL team he hasn’t beaten outside of his own.
With a win over the Falcons, Roethlisberger would join Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Kerry Collins in the 31-Club.
Earlier this season, Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning joined Brett Favre in the elite 32-Club as the only two quarterbacks that have beaten all 32 NFL teams. Brees failed to join the 32-Club just a few weeks ago when he failed to beat the Baltimore Ravens back on Nov 24.
Joe Flacco currently sits at 29 as he still needs wins over the Green Bay Packers, Seattle Seahawks and the his own team, the Baltimore Ravens.
Unless the Steelers or New England Patriots decide to cut or trade Roethlisberger or Brady, neither of them will be joining the 32 club before they both retire.
Below is a look at Roethlisberger’s path to the 30-Club.
