As confetti rains down from the heavens like rain that falls when the angels cry, you know something special has occurred. The football game has just ended, but this is no ordinary football game. This is Super bowl XLV, the biggest game of the year detmirning a champion of the National football league. With the Green Bay Packers winning it all and bringing the championship home to where it started, Title town.
This is the Packers fourth Super bowl victory with wins in 1966, 1967, 1996, and 2010. The total puts them in fourth place in the number of super bowl victories; only behind the San Francisco 49ers with five, Dallas Cowboys with five, and the Pittsburgh Steelers with Six.
Super Bowl XLV featured the two oldest and most storied franchises in the NFL, the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. For this classic matchup defense was the name of the game. Ultimately, the Packers won due to their three take always, all leading to Packers touchdowns. One of these turnovers was an interception by Packers safety Nick Collins that was returned 40 yards for a touchdown. Other turnovers included an interception by Jared Bush, and a fumble recovery by Desmond Bishop.
With the Super bowl win, the trophy comes back to where it originally started, Green Bay Wisconsin. The Packers overcame adversity, with many injuries to key players making it hard to stay consistent on either side of the ball. Even through these struggles, they still came out with a successful season. Taking the long way to the super bowl with the sixth seed in the playoffs. There are 32 teams in the NFL and there can only be one champion, that title rightfully belongs to the Green Bay Packers.
