Roethlisberger and James Harrison Discuss Harrison’s Super Bowl Pick Six: ‘One Of The Greatest Plays I’ve Ever Seen’

Former Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro James Harrison’s pick-six to end the first half at the end of Super Bowl XLIII against the Arizona Cardinals is still arguably one of the best plays in Super Bowl history. The interception, a 100 yard endzone-to-endzone return, put the Steelers up 17-7 going into the half and was a crucial play in Pittsburgh’s 27-23 win for their then-record sixth Super Bowl win. On Episode 15 of former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s Footbhalin’ podcast, Roethlisberger and Harrison broke down the play from each of their perspectives. Roethlisberger said that from his view from the sideline, he was initially confused by what was happening.
