Were Harpers 3 stitches from his knife attack on his right or left leg???......if it is the right, this pic is even more of a classic considering where BIG BEN is applying his game saving tackle.

almost sure that the stiches are on his right night. When he hurt his left knee earlier the commentator said that it was the opposite knee that had the stiches...i think. I was talking to a friend on the phone, and he was in pitt at a big sports bar right before the fumble. I was on a 5 second delay because of directv. All i heard was "shit..a collective roar...and he hung up on me. Then i saw the play wondering.."why shit....OH SHIT" One of the biggest emotion swings in a long long time. I aged 3 years in 5 minutes.

if pitt wins the superbowl, that may be the biggest play of the year.

No doubt he saved Pittsburgh's season there.

If they go on to the Super Bowl and happen to win it, he'll be remembered for that play as long as he lives.

Amazing tackle.

Like he said, it was a once in a blue moon tackle.

If Harper stays outside after that last juke then he is gone. He had Ben clear turned around and off balance. There was no way he was going to recover and cut him off to the sidelines.

If Harper had run that TD in and won the game for the Colts, we would have NEVER seen the end of it. It would have overshadowed the Music City Miracle, Herm Edwards play, Immaculate Reception, everything.

Could any of you believe your eyes when Bettis fumbled & dude picked it up and was heading for 6 only to be tackled by the QB.
One of the more bizzare things i've seen, then all that followed. I'm so glad I'm not a Colts fan!

I'm a Steeler fan and that's the first thing that went through my head as he scooped it up and started running with it. "I can't believe what I am seeing". Would have been as bad a loss as you could imagine
