What’s more thrilling than QB Ben Roethlisberger marching the Pittsburgh Steelers downfield and hitting WR Santonio Holmes for a Super Bowl winning catch? It’s one of the most iconic plays in one of the most iconic Super Bowls. Ever. To Rich Eisen, there’s two that beat it.
Earlier in the week, Eisen ranked his top-five most thrilling Super Bowl finishes in NFL history. Holmes’ catch earned a spot on the podium but only took home the bronze medal, third on his list.
“He caught a pass on third down to start the drive that was stalled, 1st and 20 on the Steelers’ own 20,” Eisen said of Holmes.
