TFH 2/5: Pitch, Reverse, Block, Pass, Touchdown, Victory!

Six years ago today, in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XL at Ford Field, Detroit, QB Ben Roethlisberger took the snap and pitched to Willie Parker, running left. Parker hands off to Antwaan Randel El running right. Big Ben throws a huge block on the blitzing corner back to spring Randel El to the outside. He stops, and throws a beautiful, on-target 43-yard pass to Hines Ward. Touchdown, and the Pittsburgh Steelers' fifth Lombardi Trophy was assured!





Antwaan Randel El became the first wide receiver to throw a TD pass in the Super Bowl. Hines Ward with 5 catches, 123 yards, and the clinching TD was the game's MVP.
