fun fact: this was the last game with the legend John madden broadcasting
: (
Not a very fun fact ):
Sad , this was my first super bowl
Great game to go out on.
RIP
The catch by Holmes is always talked about, and rightly so. But the throw by Roethlisberger is one of the best of all time, I have no clue how he fit it in there.
That’s a great point the throw doesn’t get enough credit

@@ArgentineFootballfan1978 you won 6 sbs and now you are lying to yourself huh patriots fans really are delusional
It still amazes me how the Cardinals even made it this far. One month prior, they were barely above .500, and were coming off of a 47-7 loss to Matt Cassel's Patriots. The fact that they were a minute away from winning the Super Bowl is incredible
And it’s not like they had a championship caliber defensive roster either.
@@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly it's just one of those rare times a non championship caliber team almost got it done
Perfect storm. Catch an overachieving Falcons team at home even with a lesser record. Beat an eminently beatable Panthers team on the road, then get the Eagles at HOME instead of having to go to Jersey because they beat the champion Giants. And then the Steelers...who have had a history under Cowher and Tomlin of playing down to their opposition...this probably should've been a boatracing, but Pittsburgh let them hang around until they had to win.
@@continuethecycleofhate6015 Not just non championship caliber-they are considered one of the worst playoff teams ever!

The very last game John Madden ever called. RIP legend
As a cardinals fan i only have one word to say about this game and that is “Pain”😞
As a falcons fan, Ik how you feel😞
As a Steelers fan, happy we won but sad that this was the only chance Larry had to win a ring
As a Titans fan I can relate
@@russellstutler9340 Nah we blew Larry’s chances multiple times. In 2009 the team wet the bed vs New Orleans in the playoffs. Then in 2014 Palmer got hurt right before the playoffs so that dashed our chances. And in 2015 we didn’t even show up in the NFC championship game
@@djnfbrhkelkondwvb6853 yeah but this one was in the Superbowl and one minute away from the win
I love how Ben missed a fairly easy throw on that 1st and goal, and then threw one of the biggest dimes of all time like it was nothing the next play
I mean it was in Holmes' hands so it could've been caught
Yeah and the fact that there was at least three penalties on the offense of line for holding that's why Ben didn't get sacked y'all come on the Cardinals got flagged 18 times in that game and yet the Steelers have 3 holding penalties on their offense of line but never called
@@waltersocie4434 cry... wah, wah, wah🤣
@@loganwhetzel2069 No that's you Steeler fans You guys cry too much
@@waltersocie4434 this game was 12 yrs ago....
Might be the best Super Bowl of all-time. Tons of iconic plays, great displays of both offense and defense instead of just one side dominating (like LII where it was all offense), and an iconic finish
Yeah, this was my favorite Super Bowl ever (in terms of entertainment), until XLIX. Still a top 3 SB.
i will never forget this moment assa steeler fan. i was young but i could vividly remember the match in my room. the excitement when that catch was caught
Got to watch the game with my idol growing up (my grandfather) and my wife made the food that he never had before and he absolutely loved it. He thought the world of her and was proud of me. He passed away in 2010 and she left me this year. But it still is one of my happiest days ever.
I would say in the Top 10 in "ERA" From 2000's until the present time; because BIG DIFFERENT TIMES IN "70's ; 80's & 90's!!
ps!! I was 9 yrs when the "72 Miami Dolphins" were in the Super Bowl @ the LA Coliseum & it was the only "Undefeated Season" SO please break down the times of Great Teams, that's why I said break in by decades!! ❤❤💯💜🎤
This was the closest Larry Fitzgerald came to winning a ring man this one of the best super bowls ever
James Harrison's TD was iconic
It will forever be iconic. If that play didn’t happen, Santonio Holmes’ catch might not have been as famous as it is.
I don’t care what anyone says, it was the greatest play in Super Bowl history.
That Harrison INT return for TD was epic
💯%
Unfortunately they missed like 2 illegal block in the backs and a holding call, but it was epic and crazy how he managed to make it that far
@@owengasper8874 stop, just stop. There is holding EVERY play. I literally hate judgement penalties
@@owengasper8874 tbh there should be holding almost every play like myles garret and AD and tj get chokeheld almost every play.
Harrison’s run is very underrated
Seeing how Larry’s career panned out, it’s absolutely heartbreaking to see him lose this game
He singlehandedly willed this mediocre team to the Super Bowl, and he deserved to will them to a win with his performance in this game
@Chris Kozak I was only 3 years old when I watched this super bowl, my dad told me all about Fitzgerald, and I became a fan of him.

Don't get me wrong that Santonio Homes catch was amazing but that James Harrison play was the deciding factor of the game in my opinion
For real, otherwise the Cards go into the half with a 14-10 lead and would receive the ball in the 3rd. Cuz if that int they were down 10 instead of up 4
@@laurinnn big L by Warner
@@thebigonethetcotgwgod I mean, it was just a great play by Harrison.
sb 42 and 43 how many crucial plays that could have changed the outcome, pats and cards suffered as a whole from it
The results of this Super Bowl completely overshadow the fact that these Steelers had perhaps one of the best defenses ever.
They also swept the Ravens in 3 games that year and the Ravens was a top 3 team in the season as well
They had a good defense but wasn't one of the best ever.
1970s Steelers (Steel curtain)
1985 Bears
2000 Ravens
2003 Bucs
2013-2014 Seahawks (LOB)
Hell, even the 2015 Broncos
@@Gpeagasus246 2006 Ravens also had an amazing defense that gave up only 9 points per game. Even when they lost in the playoffs to the eventual SB champ Colts they lost from only field goals it was embarrassing how bad their offense let them down
@@Gpeagasus246 When you look at their schedule, the 2008 Steelers defense is great in my opinion-they weren’t facing scrub teams every week!
I think the biggest problem was they had a terrible showing in the Super Bowl-and that’s all everyone remembers.
@@Gpeagasus246 2020 Bucs D is better too lol
That throw has got to be one of the best ever
The funny thing is nobody really talks about Ben’s throw as one of the best all time. Obviously people talk about Holmes as one of the best catches ever, but I honestly believe the throw was just as better than the catch
And Ben should have been named the MVP. Not Holmes. Ben m threaded that unbelievable pass to Holmes for the winning TD.
Came to watch the last Super Bowl Mr. John Madden called. RIP
Personally, I think this is the greatest super bowl of all time. Great action from both teams, and one of the greatest plays in history to cap it off. Go Steelers!
Two of the best super bowls back to back: the underdog giants beat the undefeated patriots and the Steelers cemented themselves as the “best” franchise (cuz we won the most sb’s)
Yes I said the same thing Greatest Super Bowl ever
I'm not a Steelers fan but I do not disagree. In fact I would probably rate either this one or SB XIV as the best. Yes I know that Steelers Rams game didn't go down to the last second but it was competitive and had a lot of big plays.

“Roethlisberger, has time. Throws to the back of the end zone and it is....caught for a touchdown, by Holmes.” Iconic
This game was John Madden’s last broadcast. What a game to wrap up a legendary career in broadcasting.
Warner played 16 games season only three times. (1999,2001,2008). Each year, his team went to Super bowl.
Incredible fact. Thanks for the knowledge.

@@platinumdiamond1445 sb 49 and 52??? or this year?
I was 10 years old when I was at that game and it was the most nerve raking super bowl I ever been too because the Steelers were winning until they started blowing it in the second half!
I remember that Santonio Holmes touchdown in my 10 year old mind and it was so unreal especially the James Harrison 100 yard interception but Steelers were able to get their sixth ring!
Can’t believe that was 12 years ago!
Same dude, feels like last week.
I was not born yet but my dad watched that same game
I wish I could watch it live on TV
Duuude same. I was also 10 and still will always remember this superbowl
How many superbowls u been to bruh?
@@Realbcb_ness I was like 6 months old
That was a miraculous run by the Cardinals. If they had won that SB it would be viewed as one of the most monumental playoff runs in NFL history. Ken Whisenhunt's name would be spoken of in hushed tones and the legend of Kurt Warner would be in an even higher stratosphere.
Truly one of the better SBs of the last 20 years.
Oh they all woulda been first ballot hall of famers it’s ashame such a miraculous season/run had to end the way it did for the cards they deserved it that year.
Larry Fitzgerald’s TD catch and run late in this game was one of the best plays in NFL history. Just amazing.
It was amazing but the decision was a very bad one, he has to slide to keep the clock rolling
@@zimbasexy1 no sorry bro but no team runs like that when ur down especially in a super bowl by a td u take the td
@@ArgentineFootballfan1978 no it’s wasn’t any player would’ve taken the td their are no guarantees in this league
@@zimbasexy1 With 2+ Minutes left in the super bowl? No lol
In NFL history wow. Better than a 100 yard return and a toe tapping gw TD during that same game.
Warner, Fitzgerald, and Darnell Dockett. Big Ben, Holmes and those PITT LBs. This Super Bowl had everything, that second half was so intense!
I remember watching this game with a bunch of friends in college. I was the only one who really cared about football, but the Harrison play caught *everybody's* attention. It's fitting that the last game John Madden called wound up being a classic. I wanted Pittsburgh to win, but it really, really sucks that this will likely be as close as Larry Fitzgerald ever gets to a ring.
Me rooting for the cardinals to win even though I know the outcome
STEELERS WON GET FUCKED
First of all how did the Steelers win fairly win in Super Bowl 40 against the Seahawks the Steelers only had eight penalties to Seahawks had 18 and a Super Bowl 43 to Steelers only had five penalties in a Cardinals had 13 every time the Cardinals and Seahawks had penalties against the Steelers it was only one that got these big plays or touchdowns
@@waltersocie4434 wtf are you even saying
@@who7063 no fucken clue man😂😂reread it not understandable
Chill out bro
As a Steelers fan I would have thought that Santonio immediately became my favorite player, but no. Larry Fitzgerald became my favorite player that day, a guy I have revered and admired for years. What a second-half performance, worthy of MVP honors had the Cards held their lead. All my respect to Larry and to Kurt Warner. Best SuperBowl ever. When Larry scored that TD I was in tears thinking the Steelers would not have enough left in the tank to come back and at least tie it. That Ben throw and Santonio catch is a moment in time.
One of the great Super Bowl games you’ll ever watch
maybe if the cardinals safety had picked that ball in the endzone
@WS 3.0 yeah nah that one was boring and az was supposed to be in it so yeah i hated that game
@@devantejackson8109 we were so good that year but everybody forgets because Carson Palmer got hurt and the Seahawks ended up stealing the division...
Along with Super Bowls 51 and 52
@@ajburrr 51 was terrible falcons shoulda won that and 52 was a great game
I want to say Super Bowl 49 tops this game but I honestly can't. This Super Bowl had some of the most iconic moments in the history of the league. That late Larry Fitzgerald TD and celebration should have been the dagger but Ben Roethlisberger and Santonio Holmes managed to follow that up with one of the all time great game winning drives. Just an incredible game all around by both sides.
Not remotely a fan of either team but this is my personal favorite super bowl even over ones the team I root for have won. The James Harrison INT return before halftime & Santonio Holmes edge of the end zone catch are etched into my memory forever.
Yup.
I'm a Pats fan so I saw Brady make plenty of great passes but that pass by Big Ben at the end to me might be the best if not one of the best passes ever, placed it perfectly.
RIP John madden 1936-2021
Larry Fitzgerald played his heart out in this game
Holmes also
Too Bad, Too Sad for Loser Larry. He should have let #15 push Harrison out of bounds but loser Larry was too busy sliding his legs under the ball so it didn’t hit the ground. Thanks Larry you loser. No ring for you EVER. LOL. You’re own personal self inflicted Instant Karma. LOLOL
I was blessed enough to be at this game. I still feel Ben should of been the MVP but seeing your squad win a Super Bowl is so priceless.
Dude
R.I.P John Madden 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin is one of the best WR tandems of all time
When the fourth quarter is so exciting it takes up half the video run time by itself
One of if not the greatest super bowl ever. What a game
26:55
It’s February 1, 2009. We’re at Raymond James Stadium for Super Bowl XLIII. The Cardinals are leading the Steelers by 3 with less than minute in the 4th quarter with the Steelers in goal-to-go.
We know what happens but those watching the game don’t know what is about to happen.
So how did we get here?
Let’s rewind...
My dad will never forget that moment as a Steelers fan
I Was really rooting for Kurt Warner to have a walk into the sun set
Same, but the Cardinals gave a prime Big Ben too much time to work with
@@808mitch yeah larry prolly shoulda gone down at the 8 yard line to set up a likely 2 down first and goal prolly shoulda waited until after the 2 minute warning to score or a little less.
What really killed them was the defender at 20:06 falling down maybe there wold be no winning touchdown and it would have went into overtime and the cardinals would have won
I meant at 26:06
@@maryshaw9541 yup
It's a bummer that Warner and Fitz didn't get a win, but it was well played on both sides, and just a spectacle to watch
The catch by Santonio Holmes is still the best catch and throw in super bowl history with the three defenders around him along the sideline. Still shocking that this was the last super bowl that big ben won and the only one that fitzgerald made. Just goes to show that these players need to cherish the moment because it is so hard to get back to the super bowl unless your name is tom brady.
Best Catch in superbowl history
1. Holmes(Clutch)
2. Tyree(Most Meaningful)
3. Edelman(Craziest)
Worst Catch in superbowl history
1. Smith(The sickest man in America)
2. Brady(6 sb rings)
You can also put Eli Manning's laser to Mario Manningham in Super 46. Now that is one of the best throws and catches ever.
Rest In Peace John
My family and I are all from not far from Pittsburgh and eventually we all uprooted and moved to Florida little by little. When the Steelers advanced to the Super Bowl in early 2009 the game was only 90 minutes from where we all lived in Florida. My dad figured it was a once in a lifetime opportunity for the Steelers to be in the Super Bowl with all of us living that close to the game site. There was him (68) my mom (61) myself (38) my sister (almost 43) my two brothers (40 and 23) my two nephews (20 and 14) and my niece (17). He paid for half of everyone's ticket and we all paid the other half for our own. I can't tell you to this day what is what like tailgating at the Super Bowl with your team in it with all of your family who you know have all been genuine fans forever. Had we lost it would have sucked bad, but still would have been a great memory. However, winning that Super Bowl in that fashion with all of us there together remains the greatest family moment I think of all of our lives. Since then my sister has moved back up north and is now 55, as have all three of her kids, which are my nephews 33 and almost 28 and my niece who is 29, and just recently I have too and am about to be 51. So that's 4 of that crowd who are no longer in Florida. My dad is now almost 80, my mom just turned 74 and my two brothers are 36 and 53.
A game Winner Well go down in sports history

It still hurts that this was Larry’s best chance to win a Super Bowl and it didn’t happen. Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald were an excellent tandem together.
That pick 6 has to be a top 5 play of all time
This is the game that got me not only invested in the NFL and football for the rest of my life, but also I found my love for The Office. Can't forget the legendary Fire Drill cold opening.
One of the greatest superbowls ever. The amount of big momentum swinging plays was just unbelievable.
Uh no thank
Even back then they were the Pittsburgh Field Goals. Still amazing game and I really miss those steelers. Even that Roethlisberger.
Could not agree more
The only game that was better than this was the AFC championship that same year against the Ravens. That was the greatest football game I ever watched!!
The AFC Championship was where I took my now wife on our first date.
Unpopular opinion: but Big Ben should’ve been MVP of this game. He played a great game! The Steelers couldn’t run the ball on the night, so he was the offense... and went for 12/30 256 yards, 1TD and a pick off a big deflection. Led them on the winning drive starting from their 12, after the holding call. He should’ve been MVP!
Maybe, especially when you consider his extending the plays on the crazy pass to Miller midway through the game and doing the same on the final drive backed up to the end zone, and his pump later in the drive holding a defender so Holmes could get freed up for the big catch and run. However, the TD was both Ben and Holmes but Holmes also had 131 yds on 9 catches and the game winning TD. Ben went to Holmes 4 of his 5 completions on the game winning drive. On paper a WR with 9 catches for 131 and the game winning TD catch will beat the QB that's 12 for 30 with 256 yds and the game winning TD pass. If Ben was over 300 yds or if the game winner goes to anyone else but Holmes than he wins it. But if you consider his escape-ability he may have deserved it anyway lol
I vaguely remember seeing this game at my neighbor's place next door from where I currently live and, honestly, this was one of the greatest super bowls I've ever seen in my entire life.
The Cardinals' offense was the reason they even went 9-7 and even made it to the Super bowl. If their defense wasn't so bad they might've actually won.
Huh? Did you even watch the video you commented on? Thats not what I saw
@@brax5353 ?
Yea right. If a frogs hind legs were longer, he wouldn’t bump his butt all the time, either.
Man, this game was even crazier than I remember it being. When was the last time you've seen the holder on a Field Goal get blown up like that? Haha
This might be the Best Super Bowl ever! Such a classic!!! Thanks for Uploading!!!
You could argue that between this and the NE vs NYG pt 1
I think it’s the second best of the 2000’s, behind the Pats vs Panthers super bowl
Before Harrison’s interception, Madden said, “there’s a pick down here”. Instant Karma for Larry was that he slid his legs under the ball and sealed the deal for the TD call for Harrison because the ball didn’t hit the ground. It hit Larry’s legs.
The Sixburgh Steelers say thank you, Larry.
This is the first superbowl I remember watching with my dad. Seeing him get upset when the steelers won cemented my hate for the steelers as well (we're Browns fans). But I enjoy looking back and watching these old games because it reminds me of watching football with my dad
As a lifelong steelers fan, who goes to the news years games in Cleveland, I really want the browns to be good again. That was one of the great rivalries in pro sports. It continued when they left for Baltimore. But we all want that rivalry back.
RIP John Madden 1936-2021
miss this steelers type of team😢🖤💛
That Santonio Holmes catch has to be like Top 2 greatest plays on Super Bowl history! It literally was the winning play and the winning score
Santonio Holmes catch was just amazing.
GO STEELERS
The best Super Bowl I ever watched not involving my team. Great game. Amazing finish.
“Unbelievable”
RIP JOHN MADDEN.
Santonio was amazing on this drive. Even better when you see the him jump up on the sideline after that Larry TD like "Time to be great!" and tells Ben he wants the ball.
One of my most memorable Super Bowls although I didn't get to watch it. I was at sea on a submarine and heard it on the radio. Weird way to take in a Super Bowl.
Harrison's play is the best play ever in SB history. Hands down.
Santonio Holmes had the best game of a life time. The "toe tap" was epic.
Went to this game. One of the coolest days of my life.
The throw to holmes is just insane fitting it over the top in corner of end zone with 3 DBs knowing we’re he was going with ball
I'm not a Cardinals fan. And I still believe that the last play wasn't a fumble, Kurt Warners arm was going forward.
Anyways it is one of the best Super Bowls in history.
Rip John Madden
I was so drunk by the time the game started I was just trying to stay awake through the whole thing.
Watching the highlights of one of the best Super Bowl matches in recent memory, SB XLIII between the Big Ben-led Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals, who had the great Kurt Warner as their QB.
Plus, it was nice to know that Al Michaels and the legendary Hall of Fame coach John Madden were the ones covering the big game!
RIP Coach Madden.
the redzone defense from the cardinals was awfully impressive this whole game. took one of the best throws and catches ever to break it
It was my first year watching football in 08 I was only 8 and this super bowl made me a die hard Steelers fan
The James Harrison pick 6 is arguably the greatest NFL play of all time
RIP John Madden 💯🙏🏿❤🕊☝🏿
Best Super Bowl Ever. Steelers fan, but I hated beating Kurt Warner. Respect.
Awesome video bro, love hypothetical champion vs champion videos like this
I watched this 1000 times and still watch it in hopes of a different outcome.
Anquan boldin was a linebacker with great hands that happened to play wide reciever lmao , and he was at florida st back when they were good....
The Tampa Toe Tap should be the name of the Santonio Holmes catch from now on. It's a remarkable catch in the annals of nfl history. Like the Immaculate Reception, like the Music City miracle, like the Miracle in the Meadowlands, like the Minnesota Miracle, like the Philly Special, like the Steel Curtain, like The Legion of Boom, like the No Fly Zone. It deserves a cool nickname.
Greatest WR duel in NFL History
One of the two best defensive plays in Super Bowl history
Craziest Safety in Super Bowl history

2nd most clutch drive in Super Bowl history
Greatest Throw in Super Bowl history

rest in peace John Madden
on arizonas last play they should have had larry to the left and the trips to the right and ran the play that arizona ran to beat the bills this year. they would have gotten at least 2 shots at it so if larry isnt open throw the crossing route get out of bounds and try one more time or if the crosser isnt open throw to larry even if hes triple covered. larry in his prime is better than hop but warner panicked and tried to make a bad throw
Incredible.
R.i.p. John Madden 😔
Thanks nfl throwback and war damn eagle!
All throughout these playoffs and the end of the regular 2008 season, NOBODY could stop Holmes OR Fitzgerald.
One of my favorite games to watch
My dad still to this day doesn’t think Holmes got both feet in bounds 😂
Thank God I've been waiting for the vintage highlights to this superbowl for awhile now thank you
I jus realized the Harrison int is the same type of play that Russell Wilson got picked off on against the patriots only he dropped back off the line
That Harrison pick 6… best defensive moment in NFL history
Underrated super bowl, I really thought it could go either way before roethelisberger connected on that insane throw to Holmes.
I wish Larry can get 1 ring
RIP John Madden.
