The main story of the week is how will the Pittsburgh Steelers – or will they even be able to – stop Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers has been outstanding so far in the 2010-11 season and he’s been even better in the playoffs. Through three playoff games, he has complete 66-of-93 passes for 790 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions – one of those interceptions being the receivers fault. He’s also rushed for two more touchdowns.

If the Steelers can’t pressure him, rattle him or sack him, they are going to lose.

The good news is that there was no team in the NFL better than doing exactly that in the regular season. The Steelers 48 sacks led the league and they will have to bring the house again on Super Bowl Sunday if they want to get the win.

What’s an even scarier thought is how good Rodgers has played in indoor games throughout his career.

In total, he’s played 12 dome games and the statistics are astounding. Rodgers has 26 touchdowns and just five interceptions in those games. The Packers offense has averaged 31.8 points per game in those contests and in their two playoff indoor games, they have surpassed 40 points twice. Rodgers quarterback rating is a sparkling 111.1 in that span.

In the 2010 season alone, Rodgers played four indoor games and finished with eight touchdowns and just one interception while completing 75.2% of his passes. Without a doubt, if he has time to stand around and make the best decisions, the Packers will score plenty of points and they’ll likely win the Super Bowl.

Tune in on Sunday to see who wins this key matchup and Super Bowl XLV.

Greatest Game of All Time

First Quarter

The game starts as a big snooze fest with neither team able to get anything started.  Pittsburgh QB Bubby Brister shows why he was never able to be as great as his name was, as he constantly avoids throwing to open receivers and elects to throw into double coverage.  The Cardinals meanwhile get nothing started on offense and the first ends scoreless.

Second Quarter

Phoenix has the first chance to score in the game, but Al Del Greco puts his field goal attempt off the upright.  The ‘lers take over and methodically march down the field, and Warren Williams piles in for the first TD of the game, making it 7-0 Pittsburgh.  The Cardinals next drive fails quickly, as Tim Rosenbach throws an INT to Dwayne Woodruff with a little under a minute to go in the half.  Brister misses two passes, and the Steelers elect to kick a FG with 34 seconds left on thrid down from the 17, even though they have 2 time outs left.  Gary Anderson’s FG attempt goes off the upright giving the Cardinals back the ball.  With 8 seconds left in the half, Phoenix fumbles and David Little recovers and plows into the end zone to make it 14-0 at the half Steelers.

Third Quarter

The Cardinals begin the second half with the ball, but Tim Rosenbach quickly changes that as he throws his second INT of the day, this one to future Hall of Famer Rod Woodson.  Brister quickly capitilazes on the error and hits Lous Lipps for the wide-open 54 yard TD pass, making it 21-0 Steelers.  The Cardinals take the ensuing kickoff past the 50, but Del Greco misses his second field goal as the third ends, 21-0.

Fourth Quarter

The Steelers take over after the Cardinals missed field goal and go three and out.  However, the Cardinals fumble the punt and Terry Long recovers the fumble and carries it in to make it 27-0.  The PAT is good and the Steelers are only 4 minutes away from their Six Pack.  Rosenbach takes the Cards back on to the field but throws another pick to Woodruff.  Pittsburgh  fails to capitalize as Anderson misses his second FG of the day.  Yet, Rosenbach throws his 4th pick of the day with a little over a minute left.  The Steelers run out the clock on the ground with Merrill Hoge  and eventually settle for an Anderson field goal to finalize the score at 31-0 Steelers, giving Pittsburgh one for the other hand.

Sign of things to come...

Super Bowl MVP: Pittsburgh Defense.  If they can’t give it to the whole defense they might as well give it to Tim Rosenbach, since he did the most to ensure the Steeler victory.

Five minutes after this picture, Tomlin was seen carrying 50 equipment bags to a pick-up truck on the runway.  Darryl Strawberry and Doc Gooden were ridin and packin shotgun.  Pedro Gomez was at the scene and reported that it might’ve been The Cream and The Clear.
