My Fake Super Bowl XLIII Highlights

Twice Boldin could not get in the endzone and that set the stage, on first down no less, that James Harrison made the greatest play in Super Bowl history.
With :18 seconds left and 1st and goal


1-10-PIT12(:43) K.Warner pass short middle to A.Boldin to PIT 5 for 7 yards (L.Timmons).
2-3-PIT5(:25) K.Warner pass short right to A.Boldin to PIT 1 for 4 yards (L.Woodley, Aa.Smith).
1-1-PIT1(:18) (Shotgun) K.Warner pass short middle intended for A.Boldin INTERCEPTED by J.Harrison at PIT 0. J.Harrison for 100 yards, TOUCHDOWN. Super Bowl Record, longest interception return yards. Penalty on ARZ-E.Brown, Face Mask (15 Yards), declined. The Replay Assistant challenged the runner broke the plane ruling, and the play was Upheld.


I don't like posting highlights so these are my version of highlights

4-20-PIT36(3:34) (Punt formation) B.Graham punts 34 yards to PIT 2, Center-N.Hodel, downed by ARZ-M.Adams. 
PENALTY on PIT-J.Harrison, Unnecessary Roughness, 1 yard, enforced at PIT 2.
Pittsburgh Steelers at 03:26
1-10-PIT1(3:26) B.Roethlisberger pass incomplete short right to H.Ward [A.Smith].
2-10-PIT1(3:21) W.Parker up the middle to PIT 1 for no gain (T.LaBoy).
3-10-PIT1(3:04) (Shotgun) B.Roethlisberger pass deep right to S.Holmes to PIT 20 for 19 yards (D.Rodgers-Cromartie). PENALTY on PIT-J.Hartwig, Offensive Holding, 1 yard, enforced in End Zone, SAFETY - No Play.
PIT 20   ARI 16,   Plays: 2   Yards: -1   Possession: 0:28.


After a downed punt at the 2-yard line Big Ben's potential game changing 19 yard pass to Santonion clause from his own endzone was turned into a safety when Justin Hartwig the Steelers obligatory white center, was called for holding

And nearly instantly.....

Pittsburgh Steelers at 02:58
M.Berger kicks 53 yards from PIT 20 to ARZ 27. S.Breaston to ARZ 36 for 9 yards (P.Bailey).
Arizona Cardinals at 02:53

2-10-ARI36(2:47) (Shotgun) K.Warner pass short middle to L.Fitzgerald for 64 yards, TOUCHDOWN.
(Kick formation) N.Rackers extra point is GOOD, Center-N.Hodel, Holder-B.Graham.
PIT 20   ARI 23,   Plays: 2   Yards: 64   Possession: 0:21.


It was a stunning play, kind of like that feeling you get when you are playing NCAA or Madden or whatever and you feel bad for the computer because you are beating them so bad and all of a sudden something happens and you take the lead

But then Big Ben....
With the Drive, Picksburg Version

THe 14 yard conversion and then the 3rd and 6 conversion on a 13 yard pass to prevent a 4th down
