Can Steelers win another Super Bowl?
A second Super Bowl title in four years, now that’s impressive if Pittsburgh can pull it off.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are back in the big dance, they will play the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa, Florida looking to win their second championship in four years. Amazing huh?
The Steelers outhit and outplayed the Ravens, 23-14 last Sunday to win one of two Super Bowl XLIII tickets at stake. And with the Cardinals already winning their ticket earlier, the pressure was on the Steelers to perform as good, or even better.
Ravens undrafted rookie
quarterback Joe Flacco was harassed by the Pittsburgh Steelers defense all game long. Normally unflappable, he looked lost at times and finished just 13-for-30 for 141 yards with three costly interceptions.
On the other end of the field, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, the same guy who was picked off four times by New England in his rookie-year AFC title game, was a steady 16-of-33 for 255 yards and, most importantly, no interceptions. If nothing else, it showed how much experience mattered in a game so important.
After Polamalu’s twisting, turning run sealed it with 4:39 to play, the game was held up when Willis McGahee, who scored both Baltimore touchdowns, was carted off the field following a frightening hit to the helmet by Pittsburgh safety Ryan Clark.
With Pittsburgh heading for Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa, Florida, they are now walking into their seventh Super Bowl. Only the Steelers, 49ers and Cowboys have won five, and Pittsburgh can be the first to win six.
If the Steelers beat the Arizona Cardinals, the 36-year-old Mike Tomlin would be the youngest coach to win an NFL championship.
The Steelers will face a team they share a history with. The Cardinals and the Steelers were merged as Card-Pitt during World War II in 1944 when the Cardinals were in Chicago and went 0-10, the only winless team in Steelers history.
Now, both teams will love to win what could very well be dubbed as the Card-Pitt Bowl.
