Did Big Ben get into the endzone at Super Bowl XL?

Yep, I saw the ball touch the stripe before getting pushed back.   Was a good call.  (and I agree not all of the calls were good ones that day!)

yes ben roethlisburger.\n\nSteelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger currently is undergoing surgery for injuries suffered in a Monday morning automobile accident.\n\nDr. Larry Jones of Mercy Hospital declined to offer any details regarding the nature of the surgery.\n\nRoethlisberger is listed in serious but stable condition. Dr. Jones said that Roethlisberger was alert and talking before the commencement of the procedure.\n\nReporters on WTAE are speculating that Roethlisberger is having surgery to repair jaw injuries.\n__________________\n\nother conflicting reports are saying he is bleeding into his brain.\n\nhere are my vview on things:\nI'm reading through some of the comments about this situation "I hope it's not serious", "gee that's too bad, we hope he'll be all right"..."he's a great player, hope he can still play"... but I can't help thinking "what a waste."\n\nHow many of us would love to be living a dream, to be a pro football player, making millions? This kid is already on record as the youngest QB ever to win a Superbowl, he's got his whole life and career in front of him, and he doesn't care to protect all that he has to live for?\n\nOne article I read mentions how players past and present, as well as his coach have appealed to him to reconsider his celebration of freedom in not having to wear a helmet. Fellow Americans presumably equally in support of "freedom" yet were also able to consider what he potentially had to lose if he should meet in an accident.\n\nAnd here we are. The article I read said "injuries do not appear life-threatening." Will he play again? Sheesh, we are not out of the woods of whether he'll have a sound mind again, let alone make critical decisions with a blitzing linebacker zeroing in on him.\n\nAs a fan, this player attitude has always bugged me. The discussion issue to which I'm referring is whether athletes, paid by fans, should have some obligation to the fans. Ticket prices go up when big name players are signed, and if they are injured - especially preventable injuries - why shouldn't ticket prices go down and let insurance pay their salary, or refuse it if they insist on taking unnecessary risks?\n\nCase in point - at the beginning of this last NHL season, Toronto Maple Leaf captain Mats Sundin gets hit in the eye. He refuses to wear facial protection, and he's out for the first month. Duh.\n\nLike everyone else in the sports world, I join in wishing Big Ben a full recovery. I hope we get to see him continue what many are now confident must be a hall of fame career. Do I feel sorry for him? Sure...but, for crying out loud, at what point do we hold people accountable for taking unnecessary risks? Wearing a helmet might have rendered this a great story about how he had the accident yet was ok.\n\nThis may not be a popular position, but heck, don't we as parents get upset with our 7 year olds for playing near the stairs or not looking both ways before crossing the street? If we expect kids to make smarter decisions in the interest of their own safety, why is it so easy to make excuses for "adults"?

They still have a chance to make a run for it again. Big Ben is getting better and better every game. As long as he stays healthy than they stil are in the hunt.\n\nThey still have one if not the best defenses in the league.Plus they added Santonio Holmes out of Ohio St. They lost Antwuan Randle EL to the Redskins but Santonio can bring explosive speed to the team.

I went to SuperBowl 28 when it was here in Atlanta, the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Buffalo Bills 30-13. I remember it was the loudest I had ever heard the GA dome, and it was great to see so many different people cheering for the Cowboys in Atlanta. I also went to SuperBowl 34, which was also here in Atlanta, the Rams and the Titans played. I thought the Titans got cheated in that one, from the stands, it looked like their last throw was a touchdown, but i remember every Titans fan being upset that night. The half time shows are awesome, even though we didnt get any Janet Jackson action.

On December 23, 1972, in Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium, Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw faced a 4th down and 10 with 22 seconds left, trailing the Oakland Raiders 7-6.\n\nBradshaw threw a pass towards fullback John 'Frenchy' Fuqua who was being covered by Raiders safety Jack Tatum. Tatum hit Fuqua and knocked him to the ground near the Raiders 35 yardline, and the ball sailed backwards to the Raiders 42.\n\nSteelers running back Franco Harris was blocking on the play, but slipped out as a receiver. He was covered by Raiders lineback Phil Villipiano, who would left Harris to move towards the ball after it was thrown (Villipiano would later claim that he was clipped on the play). Harris caught the ball just above the turf as it ricocheted towards him, and ran into the end zone.\n\nThis play was a bit controversial for two reasons. First of all, the rules of that time dictated that Harris could not legally catch the ball if it had touched Fuqua UNLESS it had touched Tatum after it touched Fuqua. Although there was no instant replay in the 1970's, referee Fred Swearingen consulted with his crew and the by telephone with NFL director of officiating Art McNally for several minutes before signaling touchdown.

The coin toss in the NFL is called by a captain of the visiting team. Since the AFC (Steelers) are the home team for Super Bowl XL, that means the Seattle Seahawks will be calling the toss.

Garo Yepremian did it against the Vikings on November 13th, 1966.  He was the only Lion to do it until Jason hanson matched him in 1999, again against the Vikings.\n\nhttp://www.nfl.com/history/randf/records/indiv/fieldgoals

Pittsburgh won the Super Bowl (it was actually in February) by a score of 21-10 over the Seattle Seahawks. Ben Roethlisberger was the Steeler QB and the coach was Bill Cowher.
