Steelers Super Bowl MVPs

Santonio Holmes performance in Super Bowl XLIII-nine catches for 131 yards, including 4 for 71 yards on the Steelers' final drive-and the game-winning TD reception with 35 seconds left earned him the MVP award. His game-winning catch is sure to go down as one of the greatest plays in the history of the game. In fact, Gregg Doyel of CBS Sportsline called Holmes' game-winner "the greatest catch in the history of professional football."

Here are the Steelers other Super Bowl MVPs, and one who might have been.

FRANCO HARRIS, Super Bowl IX: Steelers 16 - Vikings 6

Franco Harris was a workhorse for the Steelers and provided the only real offense of the first half as the Steelers managed 61 yards on the ground due mainly to Harris. He finished the game with 34 carries for a Super Bowl record 158 yards and a touchdown. His third-quarter score put the Steelers up 9-0.

LYNN SWANN, Super Bowl X: Steelers 21 - Cowboys 17

Lynn Swann caught four passes for a Super Bowl record 161 yards and one touchdown, including two phenominal catches in the first half. His 53-yard catch in the second quarter over Cowboys' cornerback Mark Washington is still considered one of the greatest catches in Super Bowl history. Swann was the first wide receiver to win the Super Bowl MVP award.

TERRY BRADSHAW, Super Bowl XIII: Steelers 35 - Cowboys 31

Terry Bradshaw reigned supreme in a day of big-time offensive performances. Despite throwing an interception and losing two fumbles, Bradshaw completed 17 of 30 passes for 318 yards and 4 touchdowns. His 318 passing yards and 4 passing touchdowns broke Super Bowl records, and his 75-yard touchdown pass to John Stallworth in the second quarter tied Johnny Unitas in Super Bowl V for the longest pass in a Super Bowl.

TERRY BRADSHAW, Super Bowl XIV: Steelers 31 - Rams 19

Terry Bradshaw's performance in the first three quarters was not great, as he tossed three interceptions, including two on successive possessions. But late in the game, the veteran got hot and converted several crucial first-downs. At the end of the day, Bradshaw had completed 14 of 21 passes for 309 yards and two touchdowns to win his second consecutive Super Bowl MVP.

HINES WARD, Super Bowl XL: Steeles 21 - Seahawks 10

Hines Ward had five receptions for 123 yards and scored a touchdown on the crucial fourth-quarter flea-flicker, was named MVP. Ward also rushed for 18 yards. Ward joined Fred Biletnikoff, Jerry Rice, Deion Branch and fellow Steelers Lynn Swann and Santonio Holmes as the only wide receivers to win the award. The Steelers franchise has had as many receivers named Super Bowl MVP as the rest of the league combined.

What Might Have Been for Bam Morris: Super Bowl XXX

The Steelers lost Super Bowl XXX to the Cowboys 27-17, but Pittsburgh dominated the second-half and might have won the game if not for… well, those two interceptions. But the player whose name has been washed from the record books-both because of the loss, but moreso because of his own misadventures-is one Byron "Bam" Morris. A rookie out of Texas Tech in 1994, Morris joined with veteran Erric Pegram a season later as the Steelers' two-headed running back tandem. Morris had 559 yards and 9 touchdowns during the regular season, and on January 28, 1996, he was the best player on the field in Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe. His one-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter cut the Dallas lead to 20-17, and he was running downhill when the Steelers got the ball back late in the game. Alas, Larry Brown's second interception sealed the deal, and Morris' career was never the same.
