In a game that perhaps exceeded the expectations of most of us, the Pittsburg Steelers outlasted the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl 43 on Sunday. Despite the great play of Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald – particularly late in the game – the Steelers were able to strike last and eventually put out the flames.

It was Ben Roethlisberger’s touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes (and subsequently Holmes’ phenomenal footwork) that gave the Steelers the win. This followed a phenomenal 2-minute drill that drove the Steelers down field to give them a chance in the final minutes.

Fans who were lucky enough to procure Super Bowl tickets were on the edge of their seats in the fourth quarter when Arizona QB Kurt Warner found Larry Fitzgerald over the middle for a 64 yard touchdown to put Arizona up 23-20 with 2:37 left in the game. But much to the credit of Mike Tomlin, the Pittsburgh coaching staff, and the Roethlisberger-Holmes connection, the Steelers closed the deal.

Santonio Holmes was named the Super Bowl 43 MVP, but the award could easily have gone to Roethlisberger, or James Harrison, who’s 100-yard interception return to end the first half set the pace. All-in-all, Super Bowl 43 was one of the best football games of the century, and great way to close out the NFL season!
