Okay, it's been 48 hours since the TD to Holmes and the fumble by Warner(if it was) put the wraps on Super Bowl 43. Now the debate begins about the best ever. All you really can do is admit it belongs in the conversation. It certainly stands up to last year when the Giants knocked off the mighty Patriots going for the 1st perfect season in league history since the NFL expanded to 16 games in 1978. For pure volume of great players, nothing may ever touch the final Steeler/Cowboy matchup in January of 1979. Bradshaw, Staubach, Franco, Swann, Dorsett, both coaches and on and on. Pittsburgh won that 35-31. I always view the 3rd & 4th Super Bowls as critical and historically significant because the AFL teams, Jets 16-7 & Chiefs 23-7 demolished NFL teams(Colts/Vikings) who were 14-17 point favorites. It was at that time the powers that be were forced into the realization the junior league was equal, we got our merger, and the NFL has grown into the beast we now enjoy.
So place Pitt 27 Az 23 where you like, but understand for entertainment value & football drama, it's etched as a great one forever.
