Roethlisberger has been one of the most productive quarterbacks in the league throughout his tenure that has seen him be the franchise quarterback that the team has built around for the last 15 seasons while leading the team to much success on the field that includes winning a pair of Super Bowls in three trips to that stage. Roethlisberger has been a large reason for Pittsburgh staying in the picture seemingly every season as being a contender for the Super Bowl.
Meanwhile, Brown has worked tremendously hard at his craft to become one of the league's top wide receivers that have been a large credit to having the trust and bond with Roethlisberger over the years. This has seen Brown put up historic numbers along the way as he has posted six campaigns with more than 1,000 receiving yards including the last five straight campaigns where he has reached that mark along with 100 receptions in each season, which makes him the first player to accomplish that in league history.
Brown is also pace to record well north of 1,000 receiving yards, and 90-plus catches this season, which adds yet another remarkable feat this illustrious career. Nonetheless, these two have been a huge part of each other's success over nearly the last decade and could continue to do so over the next few seasons.
