Super Bowl Review

Posted by: Bradley McDonald

Congratulations to Josh Lewis who picked the score closest to the final in our Super Bowl Challenge. Josh predicted the score to be 24-14 in favor of Pittsburgh. He was only seven points off of the final score, which was 21-10.

The game could've been much different, if Seattle would've caught a few more passes. Quarterback Matt Hassellbeck was on the money for most of the game, but he had at least four passes dropped. If those balls would've been caught, Seattle probably would've won the game, as their offense looked much more capable than the Steelers. Pittsburgh's offense was provided by a long run from Willie Parker and a trick play (handoff-reverse-wide-receiver-pass), which went for a touchdown.

Credit must be given to Pittsburgh's team, though. They looked much more relaxed than Seattle and the coaching staff had an excellent game plan in place.

I would still contend, though, that if these two teams played a series of ten games, Seattle would win seven of them. But, alas, this is not the case, so congratulations to the Champion Pittsburgh Steelers!
