10 Best Super Bowls Of All Time

5. Pittsburgh Steelers 27 Arizona Cardinals 23 (Super Bowl XLIII)

Reymond James Stadium, Tampa Bay, Florida and the Pittsburgh Steelers last Super Bowl win as Quarterback 'Big' Ben Roethlisberger refused to be undone by the surprising Cardinals. Despite spending most of their franchise history being a relative punching bag in the NFL, the Arizona Cardinals of 2009 came very close to winning it all and making history. This game would be remembered for two plays in particular and a terrific fourth quarter performance from Arizona Wide Receiver Larry Fitzgerald. Despite an overall of 50 points scored in the game, the first quarter only consisted of an 18 yard field goal kicked by Pittsburgh's Jeff Reed. Both teams had scoring drives in the second half with Gary Russell rushing for a one yard score for the Steelers meanwhile the Cardinals first score of the game came from a one yard reception by Ben Patrick. The first of the big plays in this one came with practically no time left in the second period when Steelers Linebacker James Harrison intercepted what would have been a end zone catch for the Cardinals then ran it back a Super Bowl record 100 yards in a moment that left viewers questioning just how he managed to get into the end zone. Just like in the first, the third quarter also contained just a Pittsburgh field goal from Jeff Reed to make the score 20-7 to the AFC Champions. The final period saw one of the best fourth quarter performances by Fitzgerald of his career where he caught six passes for 115 yards with two touchdowns. The Cardinals WR got his first score off a one yard pass from Kurt Warner before arguably the most unbelievable three minutes of football ever played. With the Steelers up by six but forced back onto their own goal line, Arizona closed the margin with a safety to make it 20-16. On their next drive Warner once again found Fitzgerald who this time was wide open with space to run, and that just what he did, for 64 yards to put the NFC side up by three with just 2:37 left in the game. In what would later be called 'Big Ben's Big Drive' fans were unable to predict what was coming next. Being back as far as 1st and 20 on their own 12 yard line, Roethlisberger led his team all the way into the end zone with Santonio Jones making the Super Bowl winning catch with just 0:35 seconds left. Late drama, an almost upset and some fantastic plays all culminated into making Super Bowl XVIII one for the ages.
