Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger now has 10 wins in Cleveland. After a 24-9 victory against the Cleveland Browns in Week 11, Roethlisberger tied former Cleveland Browns quarterback Derek Anderson for having the most wins in Cleveland since the franchise returned there in 1999.
Ben Roethlisberger has won as many games in Cleveland as any Browns QB since 1999

He is now 10-2 in Cleveland. Indeed, Roethlisberger has never lost a home game to the Browns. And for his career against the Browns he’s 20-2.
His record in the Cleveland and against the Browns overall is especially notable when you consider that the Browns almost drafted him. Roethlisberger told the media last week ahead of the game that he was convinced that they would draft him in 2004. They picked Kellen Winslow Jr. instead.
And, of course, given the Browns’ never-ending struggle to find a franchise quarterback, Roethlisberger isn’t the only jilted draft pick who’s come back to haunt the Browns.
It seems like the Steelers always have the Browns’ number when Roethlisberger is under center, and that probably won’t change anytime soon.
