UNBELIEVABLE: Roethlisberger s retirement leaves milestone within reach for ryan | History Defined

Matt Ryan Falcons

As expected, 18-year NFL veteran quarterback Ben Roethlisberger announced his retirement following the 2021 season.

Big Ben’s departure leaves the door open for Falcons QB Matt Ryan to move into fifth all-time in passing yards. Roethlisberger’s career total of 64,085 yards is currently No. 5 in the NFL record books, but that’s well within reach for Atlanta’s former MVP.

As for Ryan, he reached 59,735 career passing yards in 2021, which was enough to surpass Eli Manning for eighth on the all-time list. If you’re doing the math, that puts Ryan just 4,351 yards from jumping into fifth place. On the way, Ryan would also be overtake Dan Marino and Philip Rivers.
