Aaron Rodgers passed for three touchdowns and the Green Bay Packers took benefit of three Pittsburgh Steelers' turnovers to win Super Bowl XLV 31-25. Rodgers for 304 yards without an interception and was nominated the game MVP, important vindication for a quarterback that spent three years as backup to former Packers' starter Brett Favre. Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger answered with two touchdown passes and 263 yards passing, though threw two costly interceptions that had his team playing from following from early in the contest.
NFL betting fans that backed the Green Bay Packers as -2' point favorites were rewarded by the Super Bowl victory. The cover get better the Packers ATS record on the season to 13-7, while the Steelers concluded with a 12-7 record against the point spread. The 56 combined points went OVER the posted total of 46. In spite of their reputation as a high scoring team, the Packers went UNDER in 12 of their 20 games this season.
Rodgers' teammates were quick to praise their quarterback after the contest counting veteran wide receiver Donald Driver:
"You can stop it now. Aaron's proved that he's one of the most excellent, if not the best, quarterback in this game today."
Receiver Greg Jennings said that the Packers had overcome adversity all season to win the championship:
"We've been a team that's overcome adversity all year. Our head captain goes down, emotional in the locker room. Our No. 1 receiver goes down, more emotions are going, flying in the locker room. But we find a way to bottle it up and exert it all out here on the field."
Head trainer Mike McCarthy made his own unique giving to the triumph with an unprecedented motivational ploy-he had his team fitted for their Super Bowl rings the night previous to the game. Packers' Charles Woodson said it made an impact:
"That was just a vote of loyalty for us. Get fitted for your ring. I don't know when we'll get them, but it'll fit."
Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger took the loss firm:
"I feel like I let the city of Pittsburgh down, the enthusiast, my coaches and my teammates and it's not a good sensation."
Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews summed up the victory and the period:
"You play to be world champions and that's what we are today."
Supposing that a labor disagreement doesn't delay or stop the 2011 NFL season, the Packers will be looking to be first team to defend their Super Bowl title since the New England Patriots won the 2004 and 2005 games.
