In December 2009, the Packers took a six-point lead over the Steelers with 2:06 to play. Starting from his own 14, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger led the team to a one-point win.

In February 2011, the Packers took a six-point lead over the Steelers with 2:07 to play. Starting from his own 13, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger couldnt get it done.

And that sums up the outcome of Super Bowl XLV. As expected, the game entailed plenty of scoring. The Steelers fought back from an 18-point deficit to keep it interesting throughout the second half. After cutting the score from 21-10 to 21-17, a sense emerged that the Steelers not only would catch the Packers but blow by them. When Ben Roethlisberger badly missed a wide open Mike Wallace on what would have been a 44-yard touchdown pass, the surge of momentum evaporated, punctuated by a 52-yard Shaun Suisham field goal attempt that looked like a postseason kick from the foot of Mike Vanderjagt.

The Packers eventually pushed the lead back to 11 with an Aaron Rodgers touchdown pass to Greg Jennings (their second of the night), but the Steelers didnt quit.

A 66-yard drive capped by a 25-yard touchdown pass from Roethlisberger to Mike Wallace and a two-pointer on an option play to Antwaan Randle El cut the gap to three. A long drive by the Packers, which nearly resulted in a Larry Fitzgerald-style catch-and-run from Greg Jennings, ended with the three-pointer that pushed the Green Bay lead back to six.

Five plays later, a fourth-down attempt from Roethlisberger to Wallace hit the turf, and Vince Lombardi was waiting to welcome his boys home.

Were going back to Titletown baby! said safety Nick Collins, who returned a first-half interception for a touchdown. This is big. Its coming back home. The Vince Lombardi Trophy is coming back home.

It wasnt the prettiest or most exciting of Super Bowls, but the Steelers had something that, early in the game, it appeared they wouldnt a chance to win the game late. In plenty of past situations, theyve pulled it off. Tonight, they didnt.

So congrats to the Packers on getting their fourth Super Bowl win. With the Cowboys and 49ers at five and the Steelers at six and a strong nucleus of talent in Green Bay, the Packers could be getting to No. 5, No. 6, and maybe No. 7.

I almost thought we were going to lose it by not getting the TD at the end, but I'm so happy to see the defense come through. And that's the big difference between the 2009 and 2010 team - the defense. Way to go Packers!

I know. It was all set up for a Ben Roethlisberger "miracle" to win it by one point. But Ben didn't even come close.

When we lost that game in '09, everyone bagged on the defense. But I said the defense didn't lose that game. They played as more than the sum of their parts. They made it as difficult as possible for Ben to pull that game out of his ass. I stated that I would take that scenario every time, because we would win that game at least 9 out of 10 times.
Well, guess what bitches!

Zero2Cool (58m) : Luke Getsy been helping Packers defense. He's former OC Bears/Raiders and our old QB coach

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor
