Santonio Holmes Recalls Tense Moment In Huddle Seconds Before Game-Winning Catch In Super Bowl XLIII

Super Bowl XLIII gave fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers so many joyous moments, with Santonio Holmes providing arguably the best moment of all when he won the game with his miraculous toe-tap catch. No one was happier in that moment than Holmes himself. It isn’t often talked about, but the play before he cemented himself in history, Holmes dropped a very similar pass in the opposite corner of the end zone.

In a recent appearance on The 3 Point Conversion, Holmes explained that, on that particular play, he was so focused on getting his feet down that he forgot to catch the ball.
