Roethlisberger played wide receiver until his senior year in high school.
In 2011, Charlie Batch and Dennis Dixon backed up starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster. Another backup, Byron Leftwich, was placed on injured reserve before the season and did not play.
Brett Favre has never played against the Pittsburgh Steelers as a member of any NFL team and come away with a victory. Favre has never beaten the Steelers.

Favre was with the Packers at the time and had seaman pumped from his stomach before the game.
