The Patriots <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsnetpittsburgh.com\/2026\/01\/26\/steelers-super-bowl-record-in-jeopardy-as-patriots-eye-another-title\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">have a chance to pass them<\/a> this weekend, however, if they\u2019re able to upset the Seattle Seahawks.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, it figures that either Pittsburgh or New England would have had the best play in Super Bowl history, which legendary broadcaster Al Michaels <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/matthewluciow92\/status\/2019544497198395525\" rel=\"nofollow\">revealed this week<\/a> during his appearance on the \u201cFitz And Whit\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n<p>Michaels discussed the Steelers\u2019 exciting 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, which featured a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.steelers.com\/video\/harrison-s-pick-6-in-super-bowl-xliii\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">100-yard interception return for a touchdown<\/a> by Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison off Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner. The play set a Super Bowl record and gave the Steelers a 10-point lead heading into halftime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nesn-in-content-ad__copy\">Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve got James Harrison with, what for me, was the greatest play in Super Bowl history. A hundred-yard interception return at the end of the half. Crazy, down the sideline, he\u2019s almost getting tackled 15 times,\u201d recalled Michaels, who called the game for NBC.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the play happened 17 years ago, Michaels still remembers it like it was yesterday. So do many Pittsburgh fans, as their team hasn\u2019t won a Super Bowl since.<\/p>\n<p>More Steelers: <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsnetpittsburgh.com\/2026\/02\/05\/steelers-reportedly-expected-to-hire-new-outside-linebackers-coach\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Steelers Reportedly Expected To Hire New Outside Linebackers Coach<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"nesn-in-content-ad__copy\">Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There have been 59 Super Bowls in NFL history, and thus too many great plays and special moments&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":732792,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2055],"tags":[7,2710,6,520,57,2360,426],"class_list":{"0":"post-732791","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh-steelers","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-james-harrison","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-pittsburgh","12":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers","13":"tag-pittsburghsteelers","14":"tag-steelers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116022309727559436","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/732791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=732791"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/732791\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/732792"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=732791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=732791"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=732791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
