It is hard to believe that Santonio Holmes once sold drugs on the street corner. Now he is MVP of the most remarkable Super Bowl. He overcame his rough childhood in rural south Florida and made a brilliant catch with 35 seconds left to give the Pittsburgh Steelers their record sixth Super Bowl title. It was a 27 - 23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday night. But the Cardinals fought hard right up to the end.
After a pass to the left corner went through Holmes' hands, Ben Roethlisberger lofted the ball toward the right corner, over the hands of not one, not two, but three Arizona defenders. Holmes leaped to get it and somehow managed to drag both feet in bounds, his toes barely scraping the grass before he tumbled out of bounds. It was an amazing sight to watch. This game will go down as one of the greatest in Super Bowl history.
