Green Bay Packers Win NFL Super Bowl
The Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers late Sunday to win Super Bowl XLV, the championship game of the U.S. National Football League. The Packers outlasted the Steelers in a closely matched game at Cowboy Stadium in North Texas, near Dallas. Bad weather would not prevent the biggest event in American sports from taking place in one of the biggest stadiums in the United States. But the euphoria of the win is tempered by a lingering labor dispute between players and team owners which could bring the game of football to an abrupt halt.



Standing on a podium in front of more than one hundred thousand people in Cowboy Stadium, Green Bay Packer coach Mike McCarthy accepted the Vince Lombardi trophy on behalf of his team for a stunning road to victory.

Reuters Packers head coach Mike McCarthy holds up the Vince Lombardi Trophy after the Packers defeated the Steelers in the NFL's Super Bowl XLV football game in Arlington, Texas, February 6, 2011 "We’re going to enjoy this one. This is a great day for the Green Bay Packers organization," McCarthy said. "Really proud to bring this trophy back home, particularly for the people of our organization who have been there for years and know the true meaning of what the Lombardi Trophy means not only to Green Bay but the National Football League."

The Packers, the only community owned, non-profit team in professional American sports, defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25. The win enables one of the NFL’s oldest and most historic teams to bring the Lombardi trophy back to the hometown of its namesake, former coach Vince Lombardi.

Winning Super Bowl XLV was an historic moment for the Most Valuable Player of the Game, Quarterback Aaron Rodgers. He led his team through three difficult playoff games on the road to the final victory over the Steelers.



"It’s just surreal right now," Rodgers said. "It’s such a special team. You know, special season.  So many guys were such a huge part of this."
