Second Hand, Baby!

As most of you probably know, the Pittsburgh Steelers won Super Bowl XLIII, to become the NFL franchise with the most Super Bowl wins, with six. They kept Larry Fitzgerald in check for most of the game, and James Harrison's 100 yard interception return at the end of the 1st half was a big momentum booster. The MVP Santonio Holmes had a great game-winning drive, which included the game winning touchdown catch with :35 left in the game.

Steelers Keys to Win

The Steelers defense needs to play like the #1 defense they've been all season. If they let Larry Fitzgerald go what he did to the Panthers, the Cardinals will pull away, and not come back. Pittsburgh also needs Willie Parker to take control of the game against the #19 defense in the NFL. Hines Ward, even though he is not at full strength, will still be a factor, and Ben Roethlisberger will need to get him the ball.

Cardinals Keys to Win

To beat Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLIII, Arizona will have to get the ball to Larry Fitzgerald. He is their main offensive threat, but they also need to establish a good run game early. Fitzgerald is good, but if he is being triple-covered by Polomalu, Ike Taylor, and Deshea Townsend, the Cardinals need other options. Their defense needs to play the way they did against Carolina, or they don't stand a chance against Willie Parker and Hines Ward.
