Today marks the 15th anniversary of the greatest Super Bowl of all time

Super Bowl XLIII was the greatest Super Bowl of all time.

Of the 57 Super Bowls throughout history, so many have been classics. But for us, one stands about the rest. Fifteen years ago today, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals played in Super Bowl XLIII.

After the Steelers jumped out to a 20-3 lead through three quarters, the Cardinals stormed back in the second half and nearly completed one of the most epic comebacks in NFL history before falling 27-23.

This game was highlighted by perhaps the two greatest plays in Super Bowl history. First was the 100-yard interception return for a touchdown by Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison near the end of the first half that killed the Cardinals’ momentum on a drive that would have surely resulted in a touchdown.

Then, late in the fourth quarter, when the Steelers needed a touchdown, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger delivered. He threw an absolute strike to wide receiver Santonio Holmes in the corner of the end zone to secure the win.

A look back at one of the most exciting Super Bowls ever, which took place in Tampa

With Super Bowl LV coming to Tampa next year, take a look back now at the last Super Bowl played there between the Steelers and Cardinals.

Super Bowl LIV in Miami is over and the Kansas City Chiefs reign supreme as the new kings of the NFL.

The game was filled with all the drama and storylines you could’ve asked for. Chiefs coach Andy Reid finally got the monkey off his back and won a Super Bowl title, while quarterback Patrick Mahomes continued his meteoric rise with a legendary come-from-behind win that ended with him being named Super Bowl MVP.

Next year, the Super Bowl will remain in the Sunshine State but move less than 300 miles north to Tampa, where the game will be played at Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

This will be the third time RJ Stadium hosts the big game. The first Super Bowl played there was Super Bowl XXXV, which saw the Baltimore Ravens dismantle the New York Giants, 34-7.

As boring as that game was to watch, the next Super Bowl played there, Super Bowl XLIII between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals, was one of the most memorable (and underrated) games ever. It had a 100-yard interceptions return, a 64-yard touchdown by Cards receiver Larry Fitzgerald, and a tiptoe catch by Steelers receiver Santonio Holmes, which won the game for Pittsburgh.

Take a look back now at the highlights from that exciting game. Here’s hoping Super Bowl LV will be just as thrilling.
