As is standard in all NFL games a team of statisticians review game films to ensure correct stats were taken, Super Bowl XLIII was no different.
On a first quarter play Cardinals DT Darnell Dockett benefitted from this practice. A third-and-1 play was initially ruled as a Ben Roethlisberger scramble for no gain but was changed to a sack for Dockett.
This bonus sack allowed Dockett to finish the game with 3 sacks and tied Reggie White Super Bowl Sack record set in Super Bowl XXXI.
Roethlisberger's rushing stats now should read three carries for two yards (not four carries for two yards) and the Steelers as a team should have 25 carries for 58 yards (not 26 carries for 58 yards).
