We have now seen a franchise win six Super Bowls, with the Pittsburgh Steelers defeating the Arizona Cardinals 27-23. It was a well played game, especially the second half, and ended up being a high scoring game. Arizona nearly pulled off the upset, if it wasn't for a touchdown pass from Ben Roethlisberger to, Super Bowl MVP, Santonio Holmes with 35 seconds left. After trailing the whole game the Cardinals took the lead with 2:37 left on a 64 yard pass from Kurt Warner to, postseason star, Larry Fitzgerald, which immediately followed a safety by Arizona's defense due to an offensive hold in the end zone. All in all the game moved fairly quickly, even though there were plenty of penalty calls 18 in all. A lot of the calls could have easily been no calls, and in the biggest game of the year should have been, with Arizona feeling the burn more so to the tune of 11 penalties for 106 yards. Both teams witnessed strong play from their passing games, but lackluster performances out of the running attack gaining a combined 91 yards on the ground with the edge going to Pittsburgh with 58 yards. All that remains in the football season is the Pro Bowl next weekend.
Congratulations to the Steelers, and Cardinals.
