Aaron Rodgers and Ben Roethlisberger are playing the two New York teams, and neither one of those matchups is ideal. Both of those defenses have some talent and are tough when they have everything dialed in. But both of those quarterbacks are at home, and tough to sit either of them when they’re playing in front of the home folk.
In his last 16 games at Lambeau (a season’s worth of work) Rodgers has gone 13-3, with 43 touchdowns and 4 interceptions.
In Roethlisberger’s last 16 at home, he’s also gone 13-3, with 47 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
Rodgers gets the edge in interceptions. Roethlisberger has been more prodigious, averaging 327 yards – 57 more than Rodgers.
Unless playing against remarkably strong opposition, hard to justify ever sitting one of these guys down in a home game.
