Did it live up to the hype? In some ways yes in other ways no. Certainly it was one of the sloppier most penalized games in my memory. For the most part lacking the spark and drama of previous Super Bowls. Like Super Bowl III with Wilie Joe Namath guaranteeing a win over the then Baltimore Colts.
This Super Bowl did have its moments in between penalties. The first half being highlighted when the Steelers called a brilliant defensive play. Warner bit on the fake rush and didn't see the drop back giving the Steeler's at minimum a 4 point turn around.
With seconds left in the first half, J. Harrison faked the rush dropped back and jumped the pass rush, setting a new Super Bowl record with a 100 yard pass interception for 6.
For me the most pivotal play in the second half was the safety. Arguably a 9 point turn around. It gave the Cards momentum but did they score too quickly? Leaving 2 minutes on the clock for Big Ben, may be what cost them the game.
Pittsburg's final drive was well called and well executed,culminating with Holmes making a great catch in the right corner of the end zone.
Million of words will be written about Super Bowl XLIII, these are mine, the penalties a 100 yard int and a safety will be what I most remember of this years Super Bowl.
Please leave your post what you will most remember about today's game.
