Even if you take "hits" out of the equation for BR, since he's not on the list and we don't have a solid number...
Brees took contact on 55 of 635 pass attempts. Or contact every 11.5 pass attempts.
Assuming BR NEVER got hit OTHER than sacks, he had contact on 46 of 469 attempts. Or contact every 10.2 attempts.
So, Roethlisberger took more contact per attempt on SACKS ALONE, than Brees did with sacks and hits combined.
