2008 NFL
In 2008, division winners in the AFC were Miami in the East, Pittsburgh in the North, Tennessee in the South, and San Diego in the West, with the Wild-Cards going to Baltimore and Indianapolis. In the NFC, it was New York in the East, Minnesota in the North, Carolina in the South, and Arizona in the West, with the Wild-Cards going to Philadelphia and Atlanta. It was a bit of a strange season as the 8-8 San Diego Chargers won their division and qualified for the playoffs, while the New England Patriots failed to make the playoffs with an 11-5 record. In the first round of the AFC Playoffs, it was Baltimore having no trouble with Miami 27-9, while San Diego would need to go to overtime to beat Indianapolis 23-17. In the NFC, it was Philadelphia upsetting Minnesota 26-14, while Arizona would take care of Atlanta 30-24. In the AFC Divsional Playoffs, it was Baltimore upsetting the top-seeded Tennessee Titans 13-10, while Pittsburgh would roll over San Diego 35-24. In the NFC, it was Philadelphia upsetting the top-seeded New York Giants 23-11, while Arizona would have no problems with Carolina 33-13. In the Conference Championship Games, it was Pittsburgh taking care of a tough Baltimore team 23-14, while Arizona would win a tough one over Philadelphia 32-25, setting up the match-up for Super Bowl XLIII. The game was played on February 1, 2009, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The Steelers defeated the Cardinals by the score of 27–23. Pittsburgh jumped to a 17–7 halftime lead, aided by linebacker James Harrison's Super Bowl record 100-yard interception return for a touchdown. Trailing 20–7 at the start of the fourth quarter, Arizona scored 16 consecutive points, including wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald's 64-yard touchdown reception, to take the lead with 2:37 remaining in the game. But the Steelers marched 78 yards to score on wide receiver Santonio Holmes' 6-yard game-winning touchdown catch with 35 seconds left. Holmes, who caught nine passes for 131 yards and a touchdown, including four receptions for 73 yards on that final game-winning drive, was named Super Bowl MVP. He became the sixth wide receiver to win the award, half of whom are Steelers (Lynn Swann and Hines Ward). With this victory, the Steelers became the first team to win six Super Bowls. The win was also Pittsburgh's second Super Bowl victory in four years, after winning Super Bowl XL at the end of the 2005 season. The Cardinals entered the game seeking their first NFL title since 1947, the longest championship drought in the league.
