One big pass play can change the complexion of a Super Bowl. It does not always have to be a deep pass, but most big passing plays come on long throws. Just think where these games may have gone in the last decade if these long gains had never happened.
- Super Bowl XL: Ben Roethlisberger to Hines Ward for 37 yards on third-and-28 againt Seattle (longest third-down conversion in Super Bowl history).
- Super Bowl XLI: Peyton Manning to Reggie Wayne for a 53-yard touchdown on third-and-10 against Chicago.
