Ben Roethlisberger Believes Throw To Santonio Holmes In Super Bowl XLIII Doesn’t Get Enough Credit

In an 18-year career filled with incredible highs and Hall of Fame-caliber plays, one stands out above the rest in former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s mind. It happens to be a a massive one in the history of not only the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the NFL as a whole.

You guessed it: the play that stands out above the rest in Roethlisberger’s mind is the throw to Santonio Holmes in the back right corner of the end zone over three Arizona Cardinals defenders for the toe-tap touchdown, giving the Steelers a late lead in an eventual win over the Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, giving Roethlisberger his second Super Bowl of his career, and the Steelers’ sixth overall as a franchise.
