The Pittsburgh Steelers have won all 10 of their games so far this season and remain the only unbeaten team in the NFL after blowing out the Jacksonville Jaguars, 27-3, in Week 11.

Roethlisberger completed 32-of-48 passing attempts for 267 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception on Sunday. As it currently stands, the 38-year-old is having an impressive comeback season after missing nearly all of 2019 with an elbow injury, having tossed 24 touchdowns against five picks thus far.

However, the advanced numbers paint a different picture. Statistically speaking, the Steelers — particularly the offense, including Roethlibserger — have been decidedly middle-of-the-road this season.

Big Ben ranks 16th in QBR (66.6), 17th in completion percentage (67.1%), and 26th in yards per completion (6.7). Add all that up — along with all sorts of complex math — and it makes sense that Pro Football Focus grades Roethlisberger as the 22nd-best passer in the NFL this season, as noted by The Athletic's Mark Kaboly.

Roethlisberger had earned a grade of 73.3 prior to the Jaguars game, a figure that measures how players perform on any given play.

After Week 10, Pro Football Focus graded Roethlisberger as the least effective QB in the league in play-action scenarios.

In general, the stats across the board don't show Roethlisberger a ton of love. According to Pro Football Outsiders calculations, the Steelers rank 16th in total offensive DVOA and 15th in passing DVOA. The team ranks third in overall DVOA, though, thanks to its second-ranked defense. Individually, Roethlisberger is 12th in PFO's DYAR metric (Defense-adjusted Yards Above Replacement) and 11th in quarterback DVOA.

Pittsburgh ranks 21st in total yards per game, but, most importantly, fourth in points per game (29.8).

Of course, with the Steelers sitting at 10-0 and in the driver's seat for an AFC North title and a first-round bye, Pittsburgh fans probably couldn't care less about the numbers. Plus, MVP favorite Patrick Mahomes is not even among the top-four highly graded QBs by PFF, which are Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Deshaun Watson, and Tom Brady.

If Roethlisberger and the Steelers can get another win against the Baltimore Ravens on Thanksgiving, it's safe to assume they won't care too much about the stats.
