The Associated Press reports Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger
The Associated Press reports Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger said during an interview on the \"Late Show with David Letterman\" Monday, Feb. 2, his touchdown pass to WR Santonio Holmes with 35 seconds to play in Super Bowl XLIII was his third read, and he thought a defensive back would intercept it. \"I was getting ready to start running and then I saw about five guys closing on me, I knew my life was about to end,\" Roethlisberger told Letterman. \"I saw Santonio in the corner and as soon as I let go of it, I saw the defensive back going to get it, and I thought it was intercepted. I thought the game was over. I thought I blew it. And, you know what? He made a heck of a catch, he really did.\"

The AP reports that Ben Roethlisberger confessed to David Letterman that he thought his game-winning touchdown pass was going to be intercepted. According to him, Santonio Holmes was his third read on the play. "I thought I blew it," said Big Ben on the Late Show.Roethlisberger has an uncanny ability to make us shake our heads. For one, why is his best receiver his third read with the Super Bowl on the line? And secondly, why throw the football if you think it's going to be an interception? Regardless, his angels were busy again on Sunday and all worked out for the best. Roethlisberger was awarded his second Super Bowl victory with a 27-23 win over the Cardinals.

For the second time in his career, quarterback Kurt Warner on Sunday led his team on a crucial fourth-quarter drive to take the late lead in a Super Bowl, but for the second time in his career his team ended up losing the game, thanks to the heroics of the quarterback from the other sideline. After leading the Rams to a late score in Super Bowl XXXVI against the Patriots, Warner sat and watched as Tom Brady planted the seeds of his legacy with a last-second drive that led to a New England game-winning field goal. Only this time, Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger was the culprit, leading his team down the field to a 27-23 win in Super Bowl XLIII. In defeat, Warner completed 72 percent (31-of-43) of his passes for 377 yards, three touchdowns, and one pick.In his three career Super Bowl appearances, Warner has thrown for 1,156 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions. He also has one fumble and one rushing touchdown. Had it not been for the heroics of Santonio Holmes, Warner very well may have taken home his second Super Bowl MVP honor.

It's not always pretty with Ben Roethlisberger, but it's hard to harp on someone who has managed to win two Super Bowl titles by the age of 27. He finished Sunday's Super Bowl XLIII 21-of-30 for 256 yards and a touchdown. Roethlisberger turned the ball over once with an interception in the second quarter.Pittsburgh won this game not so much on Roethlisberger's arm as his legs. He continually kept broken plays alive with his feet and escaped the pocket long enough to find open receivers downfield, as was the case with his game-winning touchdown pass in the corner of the end zone to Santonio Holmes.
