SUPER BOWL XLV

This is the official Sports, Music, Subway, Repeat blog post for Super Bowl XLV. We have the NFC's Green Bay Packers taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas (props for failure to prepare and making the festivities quite pathetic to the Cowboys organization). Green Bay opened the scoring with a touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to Jordy Nelson for 29 yards, with Mason Crosby adding on the extra point. The next touchdown also came from the Packers, with Nick Collins intercepting Ben Roethlisberger for 37 yards and a score, and Crosby brought the tally to 14-0. Shaun Suisham put Pittsburgh on the board with a 33 yard field goal. Rodgers responded for Green Bay with a 21 yard touchdown pass to Greg Jennings, allowing another extra point by Crosby. Roethlisberger decided to throw a touchdown to the right team this time, connecting with Hines Ward for 8 yards and a score, with the extra point by Suisham bringing the halftime score to 21-10, leaving the Steelers down by 11. Pittsburgh added on another touchdown in the third quarter, an 8 yard rush by Rashard Mendenhall, and the Suisham extra point brought them within 4. Rodgers connected with Jennings again, this time for 8 yards and the score, and the 11 point lead was restored on the Crosby extra point. The Steelers answered with Roethlisberger throwing a 25 yard touchdown to Mike Wallace, and the two point conversion was good on the Antwaan Randle El run. Crosby adds on a 23 yard field goal to give Green Bay a 31-25 lead. This would be enough to make the Packers Super Bowl champions, giving the steelers only their second loss ever in a Super Bowl game. (As a side note, the city of Seattle and state of Washington thank the Packers for winning.)
