Super Bowl Matchup Set: Cardinals Shock the World, Steelers Take Care of Business

Bookmark

The Arizona Cardinals are headed to their first Super Bowl. That's right, Arizona. Led by two-time league MVP Kurt Warner. But let's not kid ourselves, Larry Fitzgerald is the star here. He's proven on the biggest stage what a stud receiver is supposed to do: make ridiculous catches and keep your mouth shut. Anyone else see Anquan Boldin mouthing off to the OC on the sideline? How many yards did he have today? Exactly. Congrats Cardinals. I guess we were beaten by the best after all!

Fun fact, the Arizona Cardinals franchise (Chicago/St. Louis/Arizona) has gone the second-longest between championships in professional sports at 61 years... only behind the Chicago Cubs' century mark.

In the AFC, the Steelers' defense held off the Ravens, clinching their second Super Bowl birth in four years. Ben Roethlisberger will be going for his second championship - as will Kurt Warner.

It ought to be an interesting matchup: a dominant defense facing an exciting offensive attack. Larry Fitzgerald against Troy Polamalu. James Harrison chasing down Kurt Warner. Ought to be great, and the Steelers ought to be the favorite.. but at this point, can we really count out the Cardinals anymore? Super Bowl XLIII goes down in Tampa on February 1st.
