New England Patriots: Relax Pats Fans, Brady Still Has More Rings Than Big Ben

It's official: Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger failed to capture his third Super Bowl title, falling short to the Green Bay Packers, 31-25. 

Roethlisberger still sits at two titles, while 2010 Most Valuable Player Tom Brady has three. 

Big Ben did not look sharp today, as he threw two interceptions today adding his career Super Bowl total to five interceptions. 

So Roethlisberger might not be so clutch and so great after all. 

Take a look at Brady's career Super Bowl stats: In four Super Bowl appearances, Brady has only thrown one interception. 

That's one compared to five. 

Sure, Roethlisberger has had a spectacular career, winning two Super Bowls with a career passer rating of 92.5. But his great performances haven't really panned out in the Super Bowl.

In Roethlisberger's Super Bowl career, not only has he thrown five interceptions, but he's only completing 60 percent of his passes. Brady, on the other hand, has completed 64 percent of his passes in his Super Bowl career.

And again, Brady has the edge in this one. Four percent is a big difference in completion rate in the biggest game of the year.

If you take a look at Roethlisberger's and Brady's worst games, Brady's were much better.

Roethlisberger's worst Super Bowl was his first Super Bowl against Seattle. He did not throw a touchdown and was picked off twice, finishing with an awful 22.6 passer rating.

For Brady, his worst Super Bowl came against in his only loss against the New York Giants. There, Brady threw only one touchdown and did not turn the ball over. However, he only completed 60.4 percent of his passes and finished with a 82.5 passer rating. 

Yet again, Brady gets the edge—even if you compared Brady's worst to Roethlisberger's second-to-worst. 

In this year's Super Bowl, Roethlisberger throw two touchdowns and two interceptions on his way to a 77.4 passer rating. And again, Brady's 82.5 rating is much better than Big Ben's 77.4.

When all is said and done, Brady has three Super Bowl rings when Roethlisberger has two. 

Brady has out-performed Roethlisberger in the big game, and simply has one more ring than him. 

It is what it is—Brady is greater than Roethlisberger.
