Pittsburgh Steelers, Super Bowl | featured news

Green Bay's victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl has surpassed last year's record-setting game in the Nielsen Co.'s preliminary ratings measurement of big cities....

Forget Lombardi on Broadway. Green Bay has the newest Super Bowl hit: Aaron Rodgers. Capping one of the greatest postseasons for any quarterback, Rodgers led the Packers to their first NFL championship in 14 years Sunday, 31-25 over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Packers reclaimed the Vince Lombardi Trophy, named for their legendary coach who won the first two Super Bowls and is making his own star turn in New York these days in the play named after him.

The Pittsburgh Steelers advanced to their third Super Bowl in six years thanks to a big-play defense that returned a fumble for a touchdown and staged a late goal-line stand in a 24-19 victory over the New York Jets.

A most fitting comeback for Ben Roethlisberger. With the kind of playmaking that put two Super Bowl rings on his fingers, the Steelers quarterback connected on a 58-yard pass to rookie Antonio Brown with less than two minutes to go. The go-for-broke toss set up the winning touchdown in a rough-and-tumble 31-24 victory Saturday over the archrival Baltimore Ravens.

In the last year, Ben Roethlisberger led the Pittsburgh Steelers to a Super Bowl title and solidified his legacy as one of the game's great big-game quarterbacks.

Capping a remarkable fourth quarter, Santonio Holmes made a brilliant catch for a 6-yard touchdown with 35 seconds remaining to give the Pittsburgh Steelers a record sixth Super Bowl title with a 27-23 over the gutty Arizona Cardinals on Sunday night.

The sun came up on the the capital of Steelers Nation today, bringing much warmer temperatures and thousands of fans to the Strip District.

To some, the expression has become cliché. To San Diego Chargers general manager A.J. Smith, it reflects his core belief on how to build a Super Bowl-winning team.

When it comes to Super Bowl Media Day, at least one player wishes it would all go away. Trouble is, he's one of the players most in demand.

It's never been truer that the hottest teams, and the healthiest teams, are the ones with the best chance in January. That's why it might be tempting to hand the Steelers their sixth Lombardi Trophy right now, but you can't underestimate a hot team with the best receiver on the planet right now, Larry Fitzgerald.
