Throughout his storied career as the defensive coordinator of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dick LeBeau liked to give some freedom to key players. Most notably, that includes safety Troy Polamalu, who could freelance with the best of them and really disrupt plays for the Black and Gold.
He also gave some freedom to outside linebacker James Harrison, freedom on the field that ultimately led to one of the most iconic plays in Super Bowl — and Steelers — history.
Of course, I’m referring to the 100-yard pick-6 just before halftime of Super Bowl XLIII against the Arizona Cardinals.
