They're the Lords of the RingsTAMPA, Fla. -- It's one for the other thumb.
Santonio Holmes made an acrobatic touchdown catch with 35 seconds remaining in a heart-stopping comeback, allowing the Steelers to become the first team to win six Super Bowls. It earned Holmes a ring and the trophy as the game's MVP. "It's going down in history," Holmes said after his catch gave the Steelers a dramatic 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. "All I did was extend my arms and use my toes." The Steelers, with the league's No. 1 defense, had blown a 13-point fourth-quarter lead as Larry Fitzgerald caught two touchdown passes, giving him a record seven touchdown catches in the postseason. That lead was built on James Harrison's 100-yard interception return for a touchdown on the last play of the first half, which became the longest play in Super Bowl history. If north, east, south, west, up and down are known as the six cardinal directions, add a new twist that sends Holmes to Disney World and brings the Lombardi Trophy back home to form a sextet. "The Super Bowl is a test, at one point, of who wants the game more than the other guy," said Harrison, who capped a magic year after being named team MVP and the league's defensive player of the year. "All 11 guys on the field helped out on that play." more..http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09033/946343-66.stm
