The year was 1997, and the Steelers were down 10-0 at half to Jacksonville before they rallied. Stewart threw a TD to Courtney Hawkins, then Josh Miller had a huge 60+ yard punt to save the day when the team was pinned deep. The OT series saw Bettis take that shovel pass and score, and they won 23-17 in a steady rain. I agree, great game, I was there as well, and it was up for debate to be on the list. Thanks! Matt Brian,

That said, just want to remind you of the Shovel Pass from Kordell Stewart to Jermoe Bettis to beat the Jags in Overtime at Three Rivers Stadium back in...'96? '94? Can't remember the Year, but it was voted 10th in 10 greatest plays in TR Stadium History. I was at that game and it was spectacular.
