Steelers Football Is Sixty Minutes
The Super Bowl has come and gone for another season. The title of the post sums it up. That is what Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said at the after match speech.
That is how it turned out in the Super Bowl last weekend. The match was not wrapped up until a fumble by Arizona’s quarter Kurt Warner in the last five seconds.
Before then we had seen the Arizona team come back from a 13 point deficit to take the lead in the last quarter. With under a minute left to play it looked like the surprise finalists would snatch the Super Bowl title. The score was 23-20 to Arizona at this stage. Larry Fitzgerald had not long before streaked clear for his second touchdown.
The Steelers were not leaving it at that. They made a final charge towards the Arizona line before Ben Roethlisberger flighted a great pass to Santonio Holmes who caught the ball with plenty of traffic around him. Did he get feet down in time, that was the question on everyone’s lips. After much review the decision was yes.
That was it the Steelers had gone to the lead with just over 40 seconds left. Arizona still had time but could not pull off the miracle win.The final score was 27-23 to Steelers.
“Steelers Football Is Sixty Minutes” is what it turned out to be. The Steelers have become the most successful franchise in the NFL as they racked up Super Bowl title no. 6.
The latest Super Bowl was able to match the excitement of last year. Too bad Arizona could not get the win. It would have been great to see Australia’s first Super Bowl participant win a title. Maybe next year.
I look forward to September when the next season will kick off.
