In a thrilling and competitive football game, the Green Bay Packers emerged victorious. A game that provided a few twists and turns, was not decided until the final minute. The Packers outlasted the Steelers to bring the NFL Championship trophy, named after legendary Packers coach Vince Lombardi, back to its rightful home.

The Steelers in large part, shot themselves in the foot. Three turnovers that resulted in each time in a Packers touchdown was more than the difference in the game, especially in contrast to the zero turnovers from the Packers. Both teams lost players during the game, notable were the loses of veterans Charles Woodson and  Donald Driver for the Packers to a broken collar bone and sprained ankle respectively.

The quarterback matchup was highly featured in the lead up to the game but it was the Packers secondary that made the difference with two interceptions. The Packers star linebacker Clay Matthews forced the third turnover from Mendenhall late in the game.

Aaron Rodgers executed exceptionally, even with receivers dropping more than a few passes. Jordie Nelson alone dropped four passes, yet still Rodgers continued to sling the ball around with surgical precision. The way he moved the ball down the field in the fourth quarter solidified his MVP award. Greg Jennings was an honorable mention with two touchdowns, including the game winning score. Aaron Rodgers, after three years as a a starter, is finally out from under the shadow of Bret Favre. Now equaling Favre's sole Super Bowl victory, coupled with MVP honors, Aaron Rodgers has surpassed the accomplishments of his legendary predecessor.

It wasn't the greatest Super Bowl ever, but it was highly competitive. The Packers were deserving winners, with Aaron Rodgers, his 304 yards passing and 3 touchdowns, a deserving MVP. This matchup of two legendary franchises left nobody wanting, the city of Dallas put on a good show and speaking for football fans everywhere, we can't wait until Super Bowl XLVI next year.
