NFL Network Top 10 Greatest Super Bowl Plays - WTF?

Harrison's pick 6 is the best defensive football play ever, let alone the SB.

Ben to Holmes' TD was the best in SB history...and it won the game.

The two longest running TD's in Super Bowl history belong to Steelers, Harrison on defense and Willie Parker on offense. Plus Holmes plus Swann, that's four of the top ten right there. No way can the NFL Network allow that.
 
Harrison's return is clearly #1, IMO. An improbable, unbelievable 14 point swing of a play that seemed to go on forever. I wonder where it ranks in longest plays (time-wise)?

Harrison should have been #1. First of all it was a 10-14 point swing. If that play does not occur there would not have been a Ben to Holmes play. Plus Harrison went 100 yards to score with no time left in the half. If he stops short its only a 3-7 point swing..
 
There isn't a list they put together that isn't a joke, especially when they throw the idiotic "opinions" of those former Raiders and Mark Madden in there. I have to be too sick to move and grab the remote to change the channel to watch any of those Top 10 lists anymore.

There's no way of knowing what happens if he doesn't catch it, or return it, or if we just hold to a FG, etc, etc., what we do know is Ben had to make a perfect throw to win a Super Bowl, and Holmes had to make a great catch, that did happen. Any play that wins a Super Bowl trumphs a play that happened early in a game, regardless of how amazing that play was.
 
I am glad someone else started this thread because I saw the show, and was befuddled at the list. I thought I was crazy. Harrison's return, only 7th??? I can't fathom that as well as Holmes WINNING SB catch. Stupid. THe Tyree catch was good, but ahead of those two? The degree of difficulty alone for Harrison's return should win it.
