Milestone watch for Roethlisberger and Ward

**DBR96A** · 10-24-2011, 10:21 AM

Yesterday, Ben Roethlisberger attempted his 3,000th pass in the NFL. It resulted in a 15-yard completion to Antonio Brown. He's now 87 completions away from 2,000 for his career, and 561 passing yards away from 25,000 for his career. His career TD/INT ratio is 156/92.

Hines Ward has lots of round numbers to work with now: 980 receptions, 11,960 yards, and 85 TD receptions. He can reach 1,000 receptions and 90 TD receptions later this season, and he can reach 12,000 receiving yards next weekend versus the Patriots.

Keep up the good work, guys!

Hines won't make 100 TDs without coming back next season!

My guess is that for Hines, the TD mark is not as significant as getting to 1,000 receptions. I could be totally wrong but I'm just going with my gut.

more and more milestones. I think Wallaces and Bens 95 yarder will hold up for awhile, unless they break it again.

Both are great milestones....I would love to see Hines get 100 TD's but really he has no shot....It would take him 3-4 seasons at this point for him to reach 100.....

Wallace and Ben will make alot of history together if we resign him during the offseason or whenever we do. But we must sign wallace to a long term deal. 6 years or so.

am I right?

Yes you are right, Tunch & Bill were talking about it on the postgame show on Sunday.

Hines SHOULD reach both of those goals later this year, as long as this ankle injury doesn't set him back too long. When he does reach one or both of those milestones they'll stop the game if it's at Heinz and give him the ball for sure.
