The James Harrison interception return for a touchdown at the end of the first half was an all-time great play and arguably won the game for Pitt.
Harrison later was highlighted getting an unsportmanlike conduct penalty for sucker punching some Cardinal while he was down.
Do you think the penalty prevented harrison from getting the MVP? If so should he have won it anyway?
I think it cost him. I think it MAY be the greatest play in super bowl history. Since it is the most recent it is the most memorable for me right now.

Regardless of Harrison's actions, I don't think it cost him the MVP. Holmes had a heck of a game catching every ball thrown his way, making key plays and eventually the one that one the game for the Steelers. Although Harrison's INT return for a TD was a great play, I do not see it as the greatest play in Super Bowl history. David Tyree's helmet catch is definitely one of my top favorite Super Bowl plays. The catch was ridiculous. Incredible concentration and just an all out amazing catch.

It was one of the greatest plays in the Super Bowl. Maybe the best defensive play ever in that game. I think the penalty hurt him as well as when it happened. If he would have scored that touchdown at the end of the game or when they were behind he would have won it.

I think it was an amazing play, he is a monster, and unlike most players when he has the spot light on him, he gets better. I think that Ben should be received the MVP, he was almost perfect, and I am sure if they knew he had broken ribs while doing so. I think that Harrison didn't do himself any favors by hitting that guy, but it was a physical game, and things happen.
