Top 12 most shocking Super Bowl moments

The Steelers Pull It Out With A Last Minute Touchdown Pass

The Steelers of 2008 were a vintage Pittsburgh team – a dominant defense, powerful running game and a quarterback who was able to throw it when necessary. Finishing 13-3 in the regular season, the Pittsburgh Steelers led the league in total defense and scoring defense, suffocating opponents on the way to another Super Bowl berth.

They faced the Arizona Cardinals, who backed into the playoffs after finishing 9-7. Despite having former MVP Kurt Warner at quarterback and all-world wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, the Cardinals lost 4 of their final 6 regular season games and were not expected to do much in the playoffs. The defense was a weak spot, ranking 28th in the league.

The Steelers were favored by 7, and for three quarters, the game went according to plan. Pittsburgh built up a 20-7 lead before the Cardinals stormed back in the fourth quarter. Arizona capped off their scoring binge with a 64 yard touchdown strike to Fitzgerald to take a 23-20 lead with 2:37 left in the game.

Pittsburgh mounted a methodical, quick-strike 78 yard drive that included 4 passes to Santonio Holmes for 73 yards. The final play of the drive was a 6 yard touchdown throw to Holmes from Ben Roethlisberger, featuring an epic toe-tap to get both feet in bounds in the back of the end zone.

Just like they drew it up in the back yard.
