If the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers play a game that is anything like the regular-season game they played last season at Heinz Field ...
We're in for the best Super Bowl ever.
That game, on Dec. 20, 2009, was won by Pittsburgh, 37-36, on a 19-yard touchdown pass from Ben Roethlisberger to Mike Wallace on the game's final play, breaking a five-game losing streak in a dismal season that the Steelers have redeemed this year. It had everything, including an onside kick by Pittsburgh after it took a late lead that was recovered by the Packers and led to Green Bay's go-ahead score. (Onside kicks, of course, are not unknown in the Super Bowl.) And if you like numbers, Roethlisberger threw for 503 yards in that game.
But this game between two historic and nationally-followed franchises won't be like that one.
The precedent for this struggle seems to lie in one of those annual AFC North Steelers-Ravens defensive struggles, four of the last five of which were decided by three points. Although the presence of Roethlisberger and the Packers' Aaron Rodgers suggests that the quarterbacks are good enough to put up a few points.
