I can pick a team when I don't care who wins; would that that that had been the case here.

As it stands, I hate both teams so much that there was no truly happy ending; again, one way or another Roger Staubach had to hand the trophy to ONE of the two teams that have caused Dallas more grief than anyone except perhaps SF--and do it IN DALLAS, standing next to Bradshaw, who conducted the post game interview while Staubach exited stage right, largely because of SBs X and XIII (the last game Staubach ever played).
The drops weren't good, but overall the Packers played well, despite a depleted secondary. You can't catch every pass (though you SHOULD!) and Green Bay looked like the championship team they are, while the Steelers looked like the inferior team they are, whether it was Roethlisberger tossing picks or Polamalu getting beat for easy TDs in the corner of the end zone. Green Bay didn't make any truly big mistakes; no turnovers at all and smart decisions on offense and defence. They deserved the win, and they got it.
I rooted for the Steelers. Why? Because I have no strong feelings either way about either team, so I rooted for the AFC.
Also, this was not a great game. It was a mediocre game. Just because it was relatively close for much of the time, doesn't make it great. There was a lot of poor play on both sides. Rodgers played really well, and would've had a great game statistically if his receivers didn't drop all those balls. Overall, Green Bay won because it made less mistakes.
