Last year’s Super Bowl quarterbacks, Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers and Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger, accomplished something in the 2009 regular season that had never happened in the history of the NFL. Rodgers and Roethlisberger that season were each sacked 50 times, yet both QBs compiled a QB Rating over 100, becoming the first signal-callers in history to be sacked 50 or more times with a 100+ QB Rating.

Following are the top 10 QB Ratings for those quarterbacks who were sacked 50 or more times in a season.
