Some of our most memorable Steeler moments involve great “one-on-one” plays. Times where the game was on the line and a Steeler was head to head in a battle to make a play, and ended up coming out on top. Here are some that we’ve come up with over on the forums. Think about some of the great ones that you recall…

From DarthMonk: In Super Bowl XIV the Steelers trailed the Rams 19-17 and faced a 3rd and 8 from their own 27. Bradshaw took the snap, faked a handoff, and then threw a pass to Stallworth who beat Rod Perry on a streak pattern. Stallworth took it all the way to the end zone for a 73-yard go-ahead touchdown to make the score 24-19 for the Steelers.
From Phenomal TJ: Roethlisberger/Harper was a good one on one moment. – The Tackle.
Polamalu’s diving pick of Phillip Rivers in the playoffs a few years ago was nice.
So was his pick against Peyton Manning that got ruled an incompletion, because the officials were taking a smoke break at the time.
From JPele: Bettis takes a handoff runs left and is heading out of bounds when he spots Ray Lewis, Jerome then heads up field lowers his shoulder and plows into Lewis and goes another 5 yards.
From BRC: Roethlisberger about to get sacked by Suggs, in the 2009 season I believe it was. Suggs was hanging all over Ben and he managed to get away just enough to throw it out of bounds to save field position.
Ryan Clark’s hits on McGahee & Welker – moments of beauty.
Norm Johnson epic pile drive tackle.
From some of our Facebook friends: Terry Bradshaws TD pass to John Stalworth that broke the rams back in superbowl 14. thats a classic.
Ben’s touchdown pass to Holmes at the last minute in the corner of the endzone in the Super Bowl !!
Lynn Swanns amazing superbowl catch.
James Harrison’s interception return vs the Cardinals. Not really one on one, more like 1 on 11 but Harrison survived that long run to score the TD.
Ben to Holmes vs the Ravens for the one of the most controversial TD catches in NFL history. Did the ball cross the plain? Yes it did, barely.
