This 2008-2009 NFL Football Season was full of action and full of surprises. The final event had to go according to the intensity of the season, of course. The NFL Season ended with Super Bowl XLIII as one of the most exciting games ever played and the most watched ever.
With a breath-taking match, the Pittsburgh Steelers became the NFL Champions after defeating (by little) an impressive Arizona Cardinals team. The game had it all to make history and make every NFL betting fan flip out no matter which their favorite NFL team was.
Even though the biggest favorites of the day were the Steelers, Arizonashowed to the world what the team was made of and why they deserved to be there. The Cardinals entered the finals unexpectedly, and that caused many people not trusting them to have a good performance. Ready to prove them all wrong, the Arizona Cardinals became one of the best Super Bowl rivals of all times. Minutes before the end of the 4th quarter, the Cardinals were up on the NFL Score. By that time, everybody really thought the Arizona Cardinals would be Super Bowl Champions for the first time. However, one last touchdown by MVP Santonio Holmes gave the Steelers the chance to place themselves as the top NFL team, with a record of Super Bowl victories.
Super Bowl XLIII will also be remembered for a new record set by Steelers James Harrison, with an interception return of the whole 100 yards to a touchdown. The 100-yard interception return set a new record as the longest play in NFL history.
Even those who weren’t fans of any of these 2 teams enjoyed this Super Bowl. Few times in life you have the chance to see a real face-to-face between 2 good teams and get really surprised by them.
