Well done to the Green Bay Packers who became only the second sixth-seeded team to take home America's richest prize, the Super Bowl.

In front of a crowd exceeding 103,000 at the home of Dallas Cowboys, and an estimated 56 million watching on TV in the US alone, this blue-collar final will be remembered for three turnovers by the Pittsburg Steelers that cost them 21 points.

Heading into the contest it was the experience of the Steelers line-up that was expected to dominate, although it was two-time winning quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, who threw two interceptions that were returned for maximum points. Opposing quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, was named MVP for his three touchdowns and 304 yards gained.
