With only 1:20 remaining in a divisional playoff game against the favored Colts, the Steelers were up 21-18 on the Indianapolis 2-yard line and the game seemed in hand. While attempting to cross the goal line, Jerome Bettis inopportunely fumbled -- his first of the season -- and Colts cornerback Nick Harper had a caravan to the opposite end zone. Ben Roethlisberger made a backpedaling tackle at the Colts 42 though and Indy eventually missed a long field goal to tie. The win eventually propelled the No. 6 seed Steelers to a Super Bowl win over Seattle for the franchise's fifth championship.
