Ben Roethlisberger has reflected on his iconic Super Bowl XLIII-winning touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes, calling the throw “probably not smart.” The pass, which has become one of the most memorable moments in Super Bowl history, was a six-yard touchdown to Holmes in the corner of the end zone with 35 seconds remaining.
Roethlisberger’s comment highlights the improbability of the play, which required precision, luck, and a remarkable catch by Holmes. Despite the risks involved, the play resulted in a thrilling victory for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
