Dallas recovered the onside kick, and again Staubach willed his team down the field as the clock ticked. Wide receiver Butch Johnson hauled in a touchdown pass with 22 seconds left in the game.
Another onside kick attempt failed, and the Steelers eked out one of the most exciting Super Bowls ever played with a 35—31 win. Today, many Steelers fans regard this game as the greatest win in team history. The Rams of the s were somewhat of a low-key powerhouse. Only the dominance of the Cowboys and Vikings kept them from reaching the big game more often. But reach the big game they did in After finishing 9—7 in the regular season, they defeated the Cowboys and the Buccaneers in the playoffs and earned the right to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.
Rams starting quarterback Pat Haden led the team to a 5—5 record before breaking his finger. Backup Vince Ferragamo stepped in and posted a 4—1 record, good enough to get Los Angeles into the playoffs. The Steelers were in their prime in Though the team had struggled with injuries during the regular season, by the time the Super Bowl kicked off, all hands were on deck. Bradshaw had thrown for an incredible 3, yards during the regular season.
Harris had rushed for 1, yards and 11 touchdowns. Receiver John Stallworth had hauled in 70 catches for over 1, yards and made his first All-Pro team. A veteran defense, packed with future Steelers Hall of Famers, stood ready to demolish an underdog Rams offense. Most football pundits and oddsmakers agreed: By the time halftime came around, the Steelers were thought to be shoo-ins for their fourth Super Bowl ring.
Pittsburgh countered with a Franco Harris touchdown dive in the second quarter. The Rams put together a field-goal drive, forced a Steelers punt, and then plodded down the field for one more field goal. At halftime, the Rams led the Steelers 13— Bradshaw connected with Swann on a yard touchdown pass early in the third quarter to put Pittsburgh ahead.
Undaunted, the Rams pulled a trick out of their helmets on the next possession when halfback Lawrence McCutcheon threw to wide receiver Ron Smith for a touchdown. Frank Corral missed the extra point, and the third quarter ended with the score 19—17, Rams.
One could only imagine the discussions on the Pittsburgh sidelines as the fourth quarter began. Whatever was said, the Steelers responded. Bradshaw connected with Stallworth on a yard scoring pass.
Later in the quarter, linebacker Jack Lambert intercepted Ferragamo as Los Angeles moved the ball into Pittsburgh territory. The Steelers closed out the game by plowing over an exhausted Rams defense with running backs Harris, Rocky Bleier, and Sydney Thornton. Harris plunged into the end zone for the final score of the game with left on the clock. Though the Rams had proven that they were worthy opponents, the Steelers had won their fourth Super Bowl in six years with a final score of 31— Philip G.
They dominated in the regular season with a 13—3 record and then defeated Washington and Carolina in the playoffs. The Seahawks were a fitting opponent for the underdog Steelers who had made the playoffs as a wild-card team and reached the Super Bowl by defeating the Colts, Broncos, and Bengals, arguably the three best teams in the AFC. Alexander had rushed for an impressive 1, yards and 27 touchdowns in the regular season behind the bone-crushing blocking of Strong and a powerful Seattle offensive line.
They would face a Pittsburgh defense that was ranked third in the NFL against the run and fourth in points against. Today, Ben Roethlisberger is known as one of the top quarterbacks in Steelers history, but back in , he was a mistake-prone, second-year quarterback who needed a lot of support from a strong Steelers rushing attack and a stingy defense.
The running game and the defense both needed to step up as they had in the AFC playoffs to give Pittsburgh a shot at winning the Super Bowl. Both teams struggled to move the ball in the first quarter, until Seattle managed a yard field goal by kicker Josh Brown.
Defense dominated the second quarter as well, until Roethlisberger put together a string of completions to receivers Hines Ward and Cedric Wilson that put the ball on the Seahawks' one-yard line.
The Seahawks stopped Bettis twice, then Roethlisberger carried the ball around left end on third down for the score. It was a controversial play, but after review, the touchdown stood. The Steelers took a 7—3 lead into halftime. On the second play of the third quarter, Steelers running back Willie Parker blasted off right tackle and outran the Seahawks' defense for a record-setting yard touchdown run.
This put Pittsburgh up 14—3, but Seattle stormed back later in the quarter when Hasselbeck connected with tight end Jerramy Stevens for a yard touchdown pass. With left in the game and holding a tenuous 14—10 lead, the Steelers hammered the final nail in the coffin. On first down and with the ball on the Seattle yard line, Parker took a pitch and started left, then handed off to wide receiver Antwaan Randle El on a reverse.
As he raced around right end, Randle El tossed a deep pass without breaking stride. Receiver Hines Ward hauled it in for a spectacular gadget-play touchdown. When the clock ran down to zero, the Steelers had won their fifth Super Bowl in franchise history with a score of 21— In the decades before , the Cardinals had suffered as one of the worst teams in the NFL.
Formerly hailing from Phoenix, and before that making their home in St. Louis and Chicago, "the Cards" took their lumps, year after year. That changed in when former Steelers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt took over as head coach. Within a year, the Cardinals had won their division, defeated the Falcons, Panthers, and Eagles in the playoffs, and made it to the Super Bowl. Arizona had added some serious offensive firepower in the years leading up to their Super Bowl appearance.
In , they drafted Larry Fitzgerald, a wide receiver who would become one of the best in NFL history. In , he had earned All-Pro honors by hauling in 96 passes for 1, yards and 12 touchdowns. Fellow receivers Anquan Boldin and Steve Breaston had caught 89 and 77 passes respectively, both for over 1, yards. At the origin of those passes was Kurt Warner, an aging but still-dangerous quarterback who had been a key part of the Super Bowl-winning Rams team nearly a decade earlier.
To stop the Arizona passing attack would take everything Pittsburgh had. In , the Steelers team that won the Super Bowl in remained largely intact, but with a handful of notable changes. Most significantly, Coach Bill Cowher had retired in He had taken over for the legendary Chuck Noll in After 15 seasons, Cowher had become a legend himself and played a key role in Steelers history.
For the season, Mike Tomlin—another young and fiery first-time head coach—took over. The Steelers opened the scoring with an yard Jeff Reed field goal, the only points of the first quarter for either team. Early in the second quarter, the Steelers put together a drive that ended with a touchdown run by back Gary Russell.
Warner and the Cardinals answered with a touchdown drive of their own, culminating in a one-yard scoring pass to tight end Ben Patrick. The teams traded punts, and just before the two-minute warning, Arizona linebacker Karlos Dansby intercepted Roethlisberger at Pittsburgh's yard line. Warner moved his team down to the Steelers' one-yard line and, with seconds to go in the half, seemed poised to score. What happened next has gone down as one of the most unbelievable plays in Super Bowl history.
With 18 seconds on the clock, Warner took a shotgun snap and fired the ball left to a receiver running a slant route. A convoy of Steelers ran interference, preventing the Cardinals from getting a hand on the big man as he plodded down the field. Cardinals wide receivers Fitzgerald and Breaston finally caught him at the one, and the trio collapsed into the end zone for a Steelers touchdown as time expired.
Instead of going into halftime ahead 14—10, Arizona was down 17—7. Jeff Reed added another field goal near the end of the third quarter to put the Steelers up 20—7. The championship's fourth quarter turned out to be one for the ages. Warner marched his team downfield and scored with left on the clock, making the score 20— The Steelers needed first downs but could do nothing with their next possession.
The Cardinals took over, and the Steelers' defense held, forcing a punt. Arizona punter Ben Graham pinned Pittsburgh to their one-yard line. Three plays later, Steelers center Justin Hartwig was called for holding. Warner and Fitzgerald made the Steelers pay with a yard scoring strike. With left in the game, the Steelers were suddenly down 23— Their lead, and a sure victory, had vanished. Roethlisberger went to work, chipping away yardage with short passes to Holmes and wide receiver Nate Washington.
Valuable seconds ticked away, but the Steelers were moving the ball. They eventually found themselves with first and goal on the Cardinals' six-yard line and 48 seconds on the clock. On second down, Roethlisberger came back to him once more with a perfectly placed ball, and Holmes made an incredible catch for the score. The Steelers were ahead 27— But, Warner still had 42 seconds to work with. After a couple of completions that put the Cardinals in Steelers territory, it seemed he still had some magic left.
But, with 15 seconds on the clock, Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley forced a Warner fumble, ending the game and ensuring a Steelers victory. Is it better to make it to the Super Bowl and lose, or never get there at all?
Advancing to the Super Bowl—even if you lose—is an incredible achievement that should be a source of pride for players and fans alike.
