Super Bowl XLV: Pittsburgh Steelers face Green Bay Packers at Cowboys Stadium. Kickoff: Sun February 6, 2011 at 6:34pm. Winner takes home the Lombardi Trophy. There is no next week for the loser.[1][2]
Super Bowl XLV is the season's final accounting for 2010. Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers arrive at Cowboys Stadium carrying every snap they have played since training camp. Championship games strip the rest of the schedule away; what is left is whichever team executes its identity longest under the brightest light. The narrative that wins is the one with the trophy attached. Lose, and the season collapses into a footnote no matter how it was played.
The whole league is watching Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers. Two conferences have produced their finalists; the rest of the 2010 season is already in the books. The Lombardi is decided here. Every other team's offseason calendar starts the morning after this kickoff.
Pittsburgh Steelers versus Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl XLV. The teams who reach this round have already proven they survive a long schedule; the stats that matter most now are the ones that compress: scoring differential, red-zone efficiency, turnover margin. At this stage of the year, the simple math is that defenses tighten and the team that protects the ball wins more often than the team that scores the most. Whichever side of Pittsburgh Steelers-Green Bay Packers cleans up the careless plays first usually walks out with the result. Conservative-game expectations should not surprise the reader; both staffs know exactly what worked all season and will lean hard on what travels. The early answer is the kicking game, where any swing of field position compounds.
