Super Bowl XLIII: Steelers 27, Cardinals 23

Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers ended a Super Bowl of momentum swings with a final-minute touchdown for a historic victory.

Santonio Holmes made a brilliant 6-yard catch deep in the right corner of the end zone with 35 seconds remaining Sunday night, and survived a booth review, to help the Steelers to a record-setting sixth Super Bowl win, by beating the Arizona Cardinals 27-23.

The Steelers (15-4) led 20-7 in the fourth quarter before Kurt Warner and the Cardinals staged a remarkable rally to go in front 23-20 with 2:37 remaining.

First Warner hit All-Pro receiver Larry Fitzgerald for a touchdown, and then the Cardinals forced a safety after Pittsburgh were flagged for holding in the end zone when pushed back to their own one-yard line.

Finally, Warner hit Fitzgerald short over ther center, and Fitzgerald sped down the middle of the field for a 64-yard touchdown and the first Arizona lead of the game with 2:37 left.

But Warner and Fitzgerald could only watch from the sideline as Roethlisberger engineered a 78-yard drive to win it in what resembled Heinz Field South.

With waves of twirling Terrible Towels turning Raymond James Stadium into a black-and-gold sea Pittsburgh claimed their sixth Super Bowl Title.
