Ben Roethlisberger's Pump-Faking Is Ridiculous

Ben Roethlisberger is a magician when it comes to pump fakes. This one surprised everyone: the cameraman, the defense, and even Mike Tomlin.

We all know it's part of his game, but you never get used to Ben Roethlisberger's ability to pump fake the entire world out of its shoes. This looked like a no-doubt-about-it throw and then he pulled it back down, avoided two sacks, and connected with Heath Miller for a 40-yard gain. I mean, look at the camera jump! He's loading up so convincingly and somehow stops himself. How do you play against that?

Not even his coach has gotten used to it yet, either.
