The turning point of the Super Bowl resulted from a bad third quarter pass from Steelers’s quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger. It was a great play call, but was not executed well. Roethlisberger faked a handoff and was given enough time to make an accurate throw. Instead of helping the Steelers take the lead, he overthrew the pass to Mike Wallace. With the time he had and the ability of Wallace, it should have been a touchdown.After the missed pass, Roethlisberger was sacked few plays later. They were forced to attempt a 52-yard field goal which missed wide left. The Steelers were gaining momentum prior to the play and lost the chance to the gain lead. The Steelers lost by five points, thus, the touchdown would have put the Steelers over the Packers.
