Right About Big Plays, But Wrong About Outcome
So it looks like my Super Bowl 43 projection or hope wasn't quite right regarding the big plays. The Cardinals got one with Larry Fitzgerald's 64 touchdown catch and run. But the other truly big came from the Steelers with James Harrison's goal line interception and 100 return for touchdown (I still think Harrison was down before the end zone by the way, but there was no decent replay proof so I agree with the lack of reversal). Porobably the most shocking Suoper Bowl play ever.
That play, though, had the potential of doing the Steelers more harm than good. Obviously it made the difference in the final score and they wouldn't have won without it, but I'm guessing it prevented the Steelers team from fully grasping at halftime just how capable Arizona was of taking the Lombardi Trophy. They did not come out in the second half prepared to shut down the Cardinals and they ended up being very fortunate to win.
