The Packers beat the Steelers in the Super Bowl, 31-25. The Packers jumped out to a 21-3 lead in the first half and the Steelers just weren’t able to come all the way back. The Steelers had two interceptions (one for a touchdown) and a fumble while I don’t think the Packers had any turnovers. Everyone seemed to be cheering for the Packers, it’s too bad the Steelers couldn’t pull it out. It was just too big of a hole, plus the turnovers just made it too much to ask for, but the Steelers sure got pretty close. They had the ball at the end, but couldn’t get much going and turned it over on downs. I don’t hate the Packers, so I guess it’s alright that they won. From the Steelers perspective, it's just tough to win big games when you lose the turnover battle.
Aaron Rodgers was solid for the Packers and really didn't make any big mistakes at all. In fact, his numbers could have been better if not for a number of dropped passes. Ben Roethlisberger really came on in the second half and through some great passes, especially the final TD pass which was absolutely perfect. I really liked the two-point conversion play which was an option to Antwaan Randle El, I thought that was an absolutely perfect play call. The Steelers looked confused and disorganized on their last possession, however, and definitely could have managed the clock and the play calling better. In the end, the Packers were more mistake free and definitely earned the title of Super Bowl Champions.

I agree that the option to Randle El on Steelers' 2-point conversion was a great call. All-in-all, an exciting game.
