Today marks the 15th anniversary of the greatest Super Bowl of all time

Super Bowl Steelers Cardinals NFL

Of the 57 Super Bowls throughout history, so many have been classics. But for us, one stands about the rest. Fifteen years ago today, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals played in Super Bowl XLIII.

After the Steelers jumped out to a 20-3 lead through three quarters, the Cardinals stormed back in the second half and nearly completed one of the most epic comebacks in NFL history before falling 27-23.

This game was highlighted by perhaps the two greatest plays in Super Bowl history. First was the 100-yard interception return for a touchdown by Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison near the end of the first half that killed the Cardinals’ momentum on a drive that would have surely resulted in a touchdown.

Then, late in the fourth quarter, when the Steelers needed a touchdown, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger delivered. He threw an absolute strike to wide receiver Santonio Holmes in the corner of the end zone to secure the win.
