HONOLULU -- In between interviews during the NFL Pro Bowl in Hawaii on Sunday, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison spoke with Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner about his record-breaking interception.Harrison intercepted Warner on the goal line just before halftime during the Steelers victory in Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa last week.Harrison ran 100 yards, scoring a touchdown and setting the record for the longest play in Super Bowl history."There wasn't really too much going through my mind when I watched it on replay," Harrison said. "I'm just looking for what they could have done different that would have stopped me. The big thing I saw was (Larry) Fitzgerald got stopped by his own guy on the sideline. That really helped me right there.""I think the thing that always lingers is that it is one play that changes the momentum of the game," said Warner. "In a lot of those big plays, when they come down to the wire, if you could just have one play back. That's one I'd love to have back. It was a huge swing in the game. Great play by James. Great job getting into the end zone, but a turning point for us."Warner went on to say that the defensive scheme caught him off-guard, which led to the interception."Normally, you'd never have to be a factor, even if you popped out, because you were suppose to be wider in the line," said Warner. "Once I saw you guys coming in the blitz, I thought, 'OK. I got two-on-two. I'm good to go.' So then, once I threw it, I was like, I could feel you. I couldn't see you behind my lineman, and I'm like, 'Why is he even a factor?' Unless you popped out, you wouldn't have been a factor, dude."Fitzgerald went on to win the Pro Bowl MVP after the NFC beat the AFC 30-21.
