XLIII

On Sunday the Pittsburgh Steelers became the football champions of the world with a win over the Arizona Cardinals. This was one of the most exciting Super Bowls in recent history. Coming into the fourth quarter it looked like everyone was right and the Pittsburgh Steelers would come out with an easy victory over the Cardinals but Arizona had a different plan. Halfway through the fourth quarter Kurt Warner hooked up with Larry Fitzgerald for a one yard touchdown. Then with less than four minutes left the Cardinals punted the ball away which looked like it might be the end of their Super Bowl hopes. Less than a minute later the Arizona defense caused a safety complements of a hold by Justin Hartwig. Not more than twenty seconds later Larry Fitzgerald scored a sixty four yard touchdown to put the Cardinals up 23-20. With only two and a half minutes left the Steelers put together a game winning drive that will be remember for a long time in Super Bowl history. The first big play of the drive was a forty yard pass to Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes which put them in striking distance. Then with thirty seconds left Roethlesberger hooked up with Holmes again with a six yard pass to him in the corner of the end zone for a spectacular catch. The catch was so close to being out of bounds they had to review it in the booth for a few minutes before it was official.
