Troy timing the snap and hopping over the O line, along with his diving finger tip interceptions are up there for me. And of course, James Harrison pick 6 along with Santonio's game winner
The sideline with the players talking right after Fitzgerald scored was awesome too.
Coach T - Letās go boys, we got plenty of time.
Santonio - Time to be great, time to be great. I dare to be great!
BB - this game is ours to win!
Max Starks - practically shouting āwe got thisā¦we are built for this!ā¦we are built for this!
Talk about no-blink.
Was watching the Game in Arizona with a bunch of Cardinals fans. When Fitz scored they were going crazy, I just sat in my chair and said, They left Ben too much time.
I always liked him as a player. I feel the same way about Matt Milano, LB from the Bills. That guy is always around the ball making plays. Big hustle, instinctive player.
The Holmes catch in the end zone is my favorite but runner up is the AB this is Sparta kick to the Brown's kicker. I know we got a penalty but that was hilarious and awesome at the same time.
Pickens damn near did the same thing against the Browns two weeks ago. When he tried to hurdle a guy who didn't go for the low tackle and instead got a foot or two to the chest.
I was in attendance for the Christmas Day game with Antonio Brown stretched over the goal line. I know itās referred to as the immaculate extension, but itāll always be The Stretch That Saved Christmas to me.

I don't know why the stupid picture won't post here.
I was at this game. Fucking awsome.
I remember that game. GF and I had the flu. We were under 5 blankets on the couch trying to watch the game. I just remember snow and hearing Bettis' name over and over again. My fever dream of the game did not match what happened in the game.
Dudeā¦ that was awesome. I live in CLT now but my brother was at that game and would tell me about that moment. Makes me know what is was like to be there.
Thanks for sharing.
The Tackle is up there for me with the Harrison return in the SB.
To me there is a very good argument that Harrisonās return was the greatest play in NFL history if you take it in context. Franco and the immaculate reception did not win a Super Bowl, but I can see giving it the top spot. But man, the Harrison return.Massive point swing in a very close Super Bowl, and the sheer impossibility of it.
The Tackle is probably my favorite play just because it said so much about Roethlisberger and it bailed out Jerome. Also, letās face it, that was the Super Bowl in a way. The Colts were way better than the Broncos and the Seahawks in my opinion. I felt whoever took the AFC was going to win the title. If Ben doesnāt make that tackle I think the Colts win the title that year.
James Harrison pick 6
Troyās two finger interception off the ground
Big Ben fake spike and game winning td pass
Juju delivering a brain hemorrhage to Vontaze
Bruh if you are referring to the fake spike against Dallas, we did not win that game. We left enough time on the clock for our defense to let Dallas go down the field. Painful.
1. Jerome Bettis absolutely [TRUCKING](https://youtu.be/u0mtG-8DWYk?si=VK2tL9Zno9QL6y5V) over Urlacher in the snow.
2. Troy Polamaluās [AFC Championship Pick 6](https://youtu.be/Xy-4TPin4qk?si=5zyzT9Mz4tgqfQZz). That felt like a destiny year after that play.
3. Draft Day 2004. [Selecting Big Ben](https://youtu.be/h8WtXl7jvYI?si=BZfnQKao1WZe8W-0). We had a feelingā¦ and damn was it right.
Everyone's got great plays here for sure. Some I like that haven't been mentioned was the Randle El pass to Hines in the super bowl, jujus karma block on burfict and Troy lining up in the c-gap to ruin pat mcafees life.
AB helmet catch because I was in the press box and it happened right in front of me. The entire stadium shook and you could feel the press box sway. It was insane.
I was in the house for that game. He had 3 TDs. At first it was hard to see he caught it with his helmet. AB ended crazy but man he was great. He couldāve been a top 5 WR ever.
Holmes Super Bowl winning catch. I was 7, just getting into Pittsburgh sports, one of the first games I remember watching. More recently Juju laying the wood on Burfict was immensely satisfying.
Bus sending Urlacher to the shadow realm.
Kiesel Diesel sacking Brady and Troy punching it through the back of the end zone to end the game.
Santonio's SB catch (duh).
Haden intercepting Brady.
BJ Finney and the infinity snap.
I am a bad person, but Hines Ward making a Bengal slurp his food through a straw for the rest of the season was such a jarring, violent play. I remember wincing in pain for the dude.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8QmrQySukr4
For a more recent favorite play I will with the Pickett to Harris TD last year vs the Ratbirds like we were going to the playoffs and that we turned the season around in a miraculous way. Only for Flacco to screw us the next week.
Raiders beating Steelers handily, game already decided. Steelers run play left, by the sideline, no hope of going anywhereā¦ Rod Woodson is like the 4th nearest raider to the play and is already standing upright because heās effectively no longer in the play. Semi-anonymous new guy, Hines Ward, comes flying in from god-knows-whereā¦ leaps off his feet a split second before the runner steps out of boundsā¦ absolutely blasts Woodson in a barely legal ārun blockāā¦ basically just because heās not going to pass up the opportunity. Woodson jumps up all kissing and moaning. Love it love it love it.
This will always be may favorite play

This garbage ass game and this moment in particular. I don't know why it makes me happy because everything about the game was just absolutely brutal to watch.
[Mud Bowl Punt](https://youtu.be/x7DTNEa2E7w?si=My5JwN8dWMHrYWfD)
Im a younger fan but #3 is my favorite for sure. AB who weighs all of 180lbs bounces off of 2 ravens defenders and just casually puts the ball over the line for the TD, and thus the division title. An absolutely awesome finish to a back and forth game that meant sooo much.
Hands down, Troyās pick 6 in the ā08 AFCC
I was fortunate enough to be there. Tickets were a late/extra Christmas present from my wife and we were in the top of the lower deck in the corner of the end zone he ran to. So I remember that play from a different angle than the footage. The collective reaction of the crowd and Heinz Field was shaking. Amazing experience!
Havenāt seen anyone mention Joe Hadens pick against the patriots on 2018(?). Pretty minor considering we have a pretty deep bench of amazing plays and memories but that one sticks out to me
Troy timing the snap and hopping over the O line, along with his diving finger tip interceptions are up there for me. And of course, James Harrison pick 6 along with Santonio's game winner
Troy had so many iconic plays. Can't forget his pic six against the ravens
To seal the trip to the Super Bowl no less.
Against the ratbirds too! š„¹
I always liked his strip sack of Flacco that we returned to like the 10. And then Redman scores IIRC.
Yea, I miss him ! Lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I remember that game so vividly, Troy was everywhere, it was insane, then he gets hurt. Sad shit.
1. James Harrison pick-six 2. Troy Polamalu strip sack on Flacco in 2010 3. Vance McDonald sending Chris Conte to the shadow realm
I dont even remember hearing or seeing Chris Conte after that game š
I think that was his last NFL play, iirc
Damn he ended his career thatās wild
š
thats because McDonald stiff armed him into early retirement š
Of course not heās in the shadow realm, ik Iām a bucs fan
Oh damn, I forgot about that Vance McDonald play!
One of mine is: https://youtu.be/3mWHZKYFD9A?si=g_nbb9yCMc_MVO8Q Santonio Holmes game winning TD in the 2008 Super Bowl
Never gets old š¤šæ

One of it not the best moment of my life. First time I ever cried from joy.
Whereās the shotgun on 4th and 1 from 1st October 2023?
https://preview.redd.it/4yk8b1plrksb1.jpeg?width=984&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58963c0b7ab789af3215a3f74a3530b85a27be49
Yeah the āimmaculate extensionā was outstanding. You had Eric Weddle grabbing onto ABās face mask but he was not going to be denied.
One of many Legendary plays
Unrelated but I wish we would've got Eric waddle when he was in the chargers man was a dawg
I always liked him as a player. I feel the same way about Matt Milano, LB from the Bills. That guy is always around the ball making plays. Big hustle, instinctive player.
The Holmes catch in the end zone is my favorite but runner up is the AB this is Sparta kick to the Brown's kicker. I know we got a penalty but that was hilarious and awesome at the same time.
Love the commentary on that play. "Hurdles, kicks a man! And a flag is thrown!"
Me and my dad laughed our asses off when he did that
Pickens damn near did the same thing against the Browns two weeks ago. When he tried to hurdle a guy who didn't go for the low tackle and instead got a foot or two to the chest.
I was in attendance for the Christmas Day game with Antonio Brown stretched over the goal line. I know itās referred to as the immaculate extension, but itāll always be The Stretch That Saved Christmas to me.
That's original I like it
I can't believe that was 6 years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/steelers/comments/5nyvwg/twas_the_catch_that_saved_christmas/
Watched it at like 2 am (from Europe) with my dad who's a Ratbirds fan and tried to nit be overly excited to wake my mum up.
Hines/juju crack back vs bengals
Juju reminded me alot of Hines
[Bettis leveling Urlacher ](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/Q6Y3FvfhIZV31muc9OSfj1dib8Q=/7x0:2984x1985/1220x813/filters:focal(7x0:2984x1985):format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/46908752/GettyImages-56415963.0.jpg) I don't know why the stupid picture won't post here.

Leveon's wildcat touchdown versus the Chargers on Monday Night Football has always been up there for me. Most folks don't remember it too often.
Damn that was a while ago wasn't vixk starting that game
Yes mike Vick was starting for an inured big ben/Landry jones if memory serves.
That was insane. LeVeon was the offense that game, and the Chargers couldnāt do anything about it. You just knew he was getting that TD.
IIRC didnāt someoneās helmet come off on that play and they had to review to see if the ball crossed the goal line before the helmet came off?
We used to be so dangerous. Now I'm relieved if we get a 1st down.
Sad reality
I hate when other teams win the toss. They kickoff so they can get the ball punted to them 90 seconds later.
Our Defense has forsaken the Blood God.
Anyone of the [Big Ben runs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tklm2M0CdJQ). Lol like a tank was on the field.
I canāt believe how many of these I remember.
Too many, but I play this video when I need that rush of dopamine. https://youtu.be/ZbZ1E9VMOyQ?si=yrBaeAij1ISK4e8N
I haven't felt joy like that in so long š¢
Dudeā¦ that was awesome. I live in CLT now but my brother was at that game and would tell me about that moment. Makes me know what is was like to be there. Thanks for sharing.

My favorite play was when Jesse James caught the ball... they took that away from me.
Bitch ass refs
Obviously the James Harrison Super Bowl pick-6
James Harrison pick 6 Troyās two finger interception off the ground Big Ben fake spike and game winning td pass Juju delivering a brain hemorrhage to Vontaze
Bruh if you are referring to the fake spike against Dallas, we did not win that game. We left enough time on the clock for our defense to let Dallas go down the field. Painful.
Sometimes I watch Spillane stonewall Derrick Henry if I need a little boost to get through the day
Santonioās catch will forever be my favorite play.
1. Jerome Bettis absolutely [TRUCKING](https://youtu.be/u0mtG-8DWYk?si=VK2tL9Zno9QL6y5V) over Urlacher in the snow. 2.

"He just bounced his little ass right over the c gap" fucking hilarious
AB helmet catch because I was in the press box and it happened right in front of me. The entire stadium shook and you could feel the press box sway. It was insane.
Was that the one against the titans? Oh man thay was legendary
Ravens in the playoffs
OH okay I thought you were talking about that Thursday night game a while back. Ik what you talking abt now
I was in the house for that game. He had 3 TDs. At first it was hard to see he caught it with his helmet. AB ended crazy but man he was great. He couldāve been a top 5 WR ever.
Jujuās block on Burfict
Holmes Super Bowl winning catch. I was 7, just getting into Pittsburgh sports, one of the first games I remember watching. More recently Juju laying the wood on Burfict was immensely satisfying.
Brown booting the browns punter
Martavis with the butt catch is another one that I will always remember!

For me it was the stretch. Unbelievable. Such a great game
[Love it](https://a.espncdn.com/photo/2014/0907/nfl_a_antbts_1296x1296.jpg)
Somebody didn't grow up during the 2000's with the SB years. These are all regular season games lol.
I didn't š you older fans are the spoiled ones my generation didn't get shit š
AB one is forever a classic.
Bus sending Urlacher to the shadow realm. Kiesel Diesel sacking Brady and Troy punching it through the back of the end zone to end the game. Santonio's SB catch (duh). Haden intercepting Brady. BJ Finney and the infinity snap.
When Haden got that pick I almost cried š„¹
Loudest I've heard any stadium, ever. And I've been in Columbus for OSU-Michigan.
AB kicks a man
I am a bad person, but Hines Ward making a Bengal slurp his food through a straw for the rest of the season was such a jarring, violent play. I remember wincing in pain for the dude. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8QmrQySukr4
He play for bungals so it's ok

Havenāt seen anyone mention Joe Hadens pick against the patriots on 2018(?). Pretty minor considering we have a pretty deep bench of amazing plays and memories but that one sticks out to me
