SUPERBOWL XLV

Although neither team is my personal favorite, I must say, Superbowl XLV was a thrill to watch. It was clearly a battle of the Quarterback's. Both teams set a record for a combined fewest rushing attempts in Superbowl history. While Pittsburgh's defense did what they could do to contain Rodgers, he still ended up having a nearly perfect game. He is amongst the greats like Joe Montana and Steve Young to throw 3 TD's and no interceptions in a Superbowl. (Not to mention he was missing Donald Driver for most of the Game)

With precise passes and cool under pressure, Rodgers completed 24 of 39 passes for 304 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions Sunday night to lead the Packers to a 31-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steeler's for Green Bay's first NFL title since Favre's in the January 1997 Super Bowl.

Key turnovers put the Steelers down on the scoreboard early. Big Ben had the chance to make his signature comeback, but it was short lived when they turned the ball over on downs with less than a minute left. The Packers Defense did their thing ALL night. Although the Steeler's seemed to own the 3rd quarter, Green Bay's defense made plays when it counted. Clay Matthews forced a fumble against Steeler's RB Rashard Mendenhall which ultimately saved the game for them. Not to mention, they were missing team leader and star CB Charles Woodson in the second half (Broken Collarbone). Let me just say, Woodson is the definition of a WARRIOR! He knew that his collarbone was broken and immediately went back to the huddle so he could give his team "one more play". You have got to respect that man's passion.

All in all, Super Bowl XLV was a great one two watch. They aired it out in Jerry's world, and the best man won. Now it's time to rebuild...
