It’s Super Bowl week, and with it here at Steelers Gab we’re going back to take a look at the top 10 Steeler plays in Super Bowl history. We’re doing two per day, with today being numbers 8 and 7:
8. SB XL – Randel El plays a trick on the Hawks – It was a play that had worked vs. Cleveland earlier in the year, and it worked again on the games biggest stage. Up 14-10 in the 4th quarter, Antwaan Randle El took a reverse from Willie Parker, and fired a perfect strike 43 yards downfield to the games MVP – Hines Ward, for a score that gave the Steelers a 21-10 lead, a lead which they kept to take home their 5th title.
7. Super Bowl IX – Blount picks off Tarkenton after a big hit by Edwards – The Steelers defense and running game dominated Super Bowl IX, and Glen Edwards big time hit on Vikings WR John Gilliam at the Steelers 5-yard line popped the ball high into the air, and Mel Blount picked off the pass to keep the Steelers up 2-0. While it was just one pick, it was a play that showed the big time hitting the defense did in their first championship win.
