ON HIS TOES

Santonio Holmes barely stayed

in bounds as he hauled in the

winning TD in Super Bowl XLIII.

Al Tielemans’s Feb. 9, 2009,

cover shot (opposite) caught

Holmes’s fancy footwork, while

Peter Read Miller’s photo (top)

showed the Steeler’s fingertip

catch, and John Biever (bottom)

captured the priceless reaction

from the rapt crowd.
