What a game. I almost always root for the underdog, and last night was no exception. So I was somewhat sorry to see Arizona's dream season end the way it did, especially after such a gritty comeback against the league's best defense.
That said, it's impossible not to give props to the Steeler offense for that final touchdown drive, and in particular to Ben Roethlisberger for throwing a perfect rocket of a pass and to Santonio Holmes for making what has to be one of the greatest clutch catches in Super Bowl history.
I felt Arizona was the better team last night on both sides of the ball - even despite the penalties - but Pittsburgh made the big plays when it counted most. That's how you win games week in and week out in the NFL, and it's certainly how you win the biggest game of them all.
Them's my two cents. For some professional opinion and analysis on last night's game by all the best sportswriters in the business, head over to RealClearSports.
