5 NFL QBs with the most wins at their home stadium ft. Ben Roethlisberger

Ben Roethlisberger went out in style on Monday night as what was widely believed to be his final NFL start at Heinz Field climaxed in a 26-14 win for his Pittsburgh Steelers. Though it's likely no playoff trip awaits the presumably retiring Roethlisberger, he was at least able to give a Steel City crowd that lived and died by his every NFL move one last thrill in the form of a win over divisional rivals the Cleveland Browns. It was his 93rd, and likely final, regular season win at Heinz Field, which opened three years prior to his NFL debut in 2001.

Roethlisberger ends his career in the top five of a unique NFL metric

Roethlisberger's last stand had SK thinking: which quarterbacks have had the most success in their respective home stadiums? We look back at the top five below, ranking quarterbacks by their win tallies at certain stadiums...

#5 - Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay (86 wins at Lambeau Field)

Roethlisberger better not get too comfortable in his spot, as Rodgers could be passing him this time next season... if he decides to stay, that is. The possible MVP-to-be has earned 86 wins at Lambeau, the most recent coming in the NFL's Week 17 Sunday night showcase against Minnesota, which wrapped up homefield advantage in the NFC playoffs. Of note, Rodgers cashed in on an opportunity to make Packers history at Lambeau on Christmas Day, setting the team record for touchdown passes with his 443rd going to Allen Lazard.

#4 - Brett Favre, Green Bay (91 wins at Lambeau Field)

Fans of most NFL teams would give up their left arms for the mere dream of having consecutive franchise quarterbacks carry on what's been nearly three decades of uninterrupted success. It's a reality only in Green Bay, which has previously enjoyed 16 years of Favre at the helm before giving way to Rodgers. No Favre franchise record appears safe anymore in Titletown, as Rodgers could likewise pass him up this time next year... though he seems more than content with echoing Favre's will-or-won't-he routines he often pulled in the latter stages of his green and yellow career.

#3 - Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh (93 wins at Heinz Field)

It was perhaps all too appropriate that Roethlisberger's final NFL win in Pittsburgh came against rivals Cleveland Browns, who showcased their 28th different starting quarterback since he took over the franchise reins in 2004.

Heinz Field, in fact, wasn't the only stadium where Roethlisberger stood at the top of the quarterback wins list: until last season, he was the all-time winningest thrower at Cleveland's FirstEnergy Stadium and moves on with a 25-3-1 record against Pittsburgh's supposed rival.

#2 - John Elway, Denver (95 wins at Mile High Stadium)

Say what you will about Elway's current front office endeavors, where Mile High once stood, he knew how to win when he took the field so high above sea level.

The two-time Super Bowl champion played each of his home games at the original Denver stadium, helping contribute to a raucous game atmosphere. Notably, the Broncos were undefeated against five active teams in their 41 years at Mile High Stadium, as Arizona, Baltimore, Carolina, Green Bay and Indianapolis never won a game within its confines.

#1 - Tom Brady, New England (116 wins at Gillette Stadium)

Did you really expect a list involving quarterback wins to end without Brady at the top, especially when his role in the Patriots dynasty was involved?

Brady and Co. built their success on winning at home, taking 116 triumphs since the new Foxboro Stadium's opening in 2002.

Perhaps only driving his "GOAT" status further, Brady added to his Gillette win total earlier this season, as he and his new comrades in Tampa Bay took home a highly publicized 19-17 Sunday night win back in October.
