It probably isn't difficult to determine the biggest play of the regular season, the defining moment that allowed the Steelers to win their NFL-best 20th division title since 1970 and obtain a first-round playoff bye.

Actually, it might be more difficult determining which of Troy Polamalu's stunning plays was more significant, especially in a season in which he had a career-high seven interceptions and probably should win the NFL's defensive player of the year award.

There were so many game breakers this season that it really is hard to remember them all or to pick a fave. Thanks for posting this good read and helping me to relive all of these great memories from the 2010 regular season LLT. :drink:

[QUOTE]8. Antonio Brown's 89-yard touchdown kick return in Tennessee. Wanting to create a splash play early so young quarterback Dennis Dixon wouldn't have to play from behind on the road, the Steelers got their first kick return for touchdown in three years when Brown took a reverse handoff from Mewelde Moore on the opening kickoff and followed a double-team block by Stevenson Sylvester and Ryan Mundy on safety Michael Griffin. It was the first time Brown touched the ball in an NFL game. "That was a big play in the game," offensive coordinator Bruce Keisel said.

They really don't proofread too well at the PG do they? :lol: :lol:

That was a very good read. What a regular season it was for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Now it's time for the men to create more memories in the playoffs and bring home Lombardi #7!

I think the editor went missing in Keisel's beard, and this was code to send help.

I think the stop on the QB sneak against the Titans is the best play.

[Doc]

Troy Polamalu's diving leap on the quarterback sneak in Tennessee. The play didn't prevent the Titans from eventually scoring a touchdown but, on a first-down sneak from the Steelers' 1, Titans quarterback Kerry Collins was stopped for no gain when Polamalu leaped over the line of scrimmage and tackled him.


One of my all time favorite plays...the look on Collins face was hilarious!

I liked his tackle for a loss on a QB sneak against the Ravens in '08 even better!

[The WH]

Start of season: Polamalu's Interception to inform the league that he was back.

Mid-Season: Kiesel taking it to the house against the Buc's

End of season: Mike Wallace 56 yd. TD against the Browns.
