2. Super Bowl XLIII: Pittsburgh 27, Arizona 23 (Feb. 2009)
You want big plays? Super Bowl XLII had the biggest: a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown by Pittsburgh linebacker and 2008 Defensive Player of the Year James Harrison.
You want a great comeback? Super Bowl XLIII a big one: a pair of Kurt Warner to Larry Fitzgerald touchdown passes, including a 64-yarder, that lifted the Cardinals to a late 23-20 lead.
You want last-second drama? Super Bowl XLIII had it, with Ben Roethlisberger marching the Steelers from his own 12 and then capping it off with a beautiful throw and perhaps an even better catch by Santonio Holmes for the game-winning six-yard touchdown with just 35 seconds to play.
A furious comeback effort in the final seconds by Warner and the Cardinals ended when Pittsburgh’s Brett Keisel recovered a fumble with five seconds remaining.
