Bigger play in Super Bowl XLIII?

ok they are both probably on in the top 5 plays in SUPERBOWL history. we have the longest play in history and what appears to be the best game winning catch. keep in mind james harrison is not a cornerback or a lineman he is a linebacker. Harrison ran it back 100 yards as a linebacker with time expiring in the 1st half. But Santonio Holmes mad an awesome grab to WIN THE GAME. Its not necessarily the catch but also the throw. Roethilisberger threw it perfectly over three defenders. Then Holmes makes a beautiful catch, wins MVP and a Superbowl title. James Harrison's play was nice, but i think Holmes' catch was more signifacant

The game winning catch by Holmes was the bigger play... the fact that the Cardinals battled back and took the lead after the interception return took place, renders the play moot.

There is always the "IF" factor that people will argue how the game would've been different "IF"... but that doesn't matter... it is what it is and the Cardinals had the lead after Harrisons interception... therefore that play did not win the game for the Steelers... Holmes' touchdown catch did. Case closed.

HAS to be Harrison.

- He took points away from the Cards, who were about to score

- He gave points to the Steelers

- Thats a 14 point swing!

- And time was running out! If he caught the INT and only made it half way, steelers still wouldnt of got any points. Time was at ZERO when he got the TD.

- If they only got a field goal things might have been different too.

- He is a huge dude and ran 100 yards, breaking 10 tackles

- If he did that in the 2nd half, he would be MVP for sure.

Return was the biggest no doubt. Think about it if that would not have happened. You have a 10-10 halftime or a 14-10 halftime. That makes a total different second half. The only reason Harrison didnt win the MVP is because of the silly cheap shot foul he was flagged for late in the game.

Holmes' catch because even if he wouldnt have returned that INT they still would have been up. Their effortless defense caused Arizona to come bak in that game, but the catch sealed the deal for Pitt. There were also 3 guys guarding Holmes and Big Ben produced a throw like no other to win.

Harrisons play was bigger, not only did it add 7 points to the Steeler's Score, but it erased 7 points from Arizona's score, it was a 14 point swing at half time, and it is extremely rare for a linebacker to make a 100 yard int return (nearly impossible).

I liked the INT, by Harrison. But as far as the Biggest play you gotta go with Holmes because it was for the win.

This is a really good argument, but I personally think the return was. Think about it... Harrison is a big man. He doesn't just run the ball a hundred yards every game. Holmes is always making the big plays.

Has to be the int. it's at least a 10 point swing towards the steelers side and possibly a 14 point swing although the T.D. was great pittsburgh would have been in a completely different situation without the int. from harrison.

That catch was pretty remarkable, but that 100 yard interception return was magic.

I say Harrisons return.
