[QUOTE="cheesehurdler, post: 362988, member: 3981"] I believe many football teams that won the super bowl were lucky. Think of it like this: Not many people expected the Giants to win it all, even after they won the 2007 *** ************ (censored it for Jess here). I rewatched the game and remembered, on the Brett Favre interception, he had at least 2 wide open recievers. Had he thrown to one of them, they would've gone into field goal range, at least, and kicked their way into the Super Bowl. And speaking of, remember the Tyree Catch? That play is the [I]definition[/I] of lucky. [CENTER][ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27XeNefwABw"]YouTube - The best play on super bowl XLII[/ame][/CENTER] The 2008 Steelers had a ton of lucky breaks. One was the James Harrison 100-yd return. This completely switched momentum because the Cardinals were inches away from the endzone, and if they scored, the Steelers would be down by 4.
