The Steelers marched downfield, Pittsburgh’s Rashard Mendenhall ran for a touchdown, and that inspired the Steeler defense to mash Green Bay. Although Green Bay leads, 21-17, with 7:34 left in the third quarter, the momentum is presently completely in Pittsburgh’s favor. One of the members of Green Bay’s bedraggled defensive unit had better step up and make a play, or the Steelers are going to steal the game from them.
You know what they say about what so often happens when you let a team hang around.
I just got back from a Super Bowl party. The Packers won 31-25. After it was cut to 21-17, Green Bay got a TD, later a FG and hung on to win. They let the Steelers hang around and get back in the game, but won by putting up 10 in the 4th quarter.
ReplyDeleteFor the first 25-odd years it was played, the Super Bowl was usually one-sided or sloppy or both. In the last dozen years or so, usually a very good game.
