It’s one of the greatest plays in NFL history and came at the end of a remarkable game. Yet for former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, his throw to wide receiver Santonio Holmes in the back right corner of the end zone to win Super Bowl XLIII over the Arizona Cardinals has him being overshadowed quite a bit by the catch Holmes made.
Holmes, of course, went on to win Super Bowl XLIII MVP after that catch, capping a night in which he finished with nine receptions for 131 yards and the game-winning score. He was dominant throughout the game and saved his best for last, hauling in four passes for 73 yards on the game-winning drive, including the 6-yard strike for the game’s final score.
