I was asked by a reader earlier to do a breakdown of the Steelers interceptions like the one I did on the sacks allowed this year. I had the links handy and believe it or not, Steelers quarterbacks have only thrown 9 total interceptions this year with Ben Roethlisberger only throwing 5 of the 9. In addition the 1 interception intended for Antwaan Randle El hit him in the hands and was very catch-able. Roethlisberger has not thrown a pick since the week 10 Ravens game either. He also has only has thrown 1 pick in the redzone. Much like the sack breakdown, we have included the down and distance, personnel package and time in the game for reference. You can click on the links to see a replay of the play on NFL.com as well.
