It’s Super Bowl time once again and Steelers fans that sit down to watch the extravaganza including former players and coaches that donned black-and-gold will feel somewhat left out of the excitement. But there were days when that wasn’t the case through six Super Bowl championships. Nobody can forget the five men whose MVP performances made those victories possible. Guys with monikers like Franco, Swanny, TB, Hines and Tone have been immortalized in Steeler Nation for winning Best in Show honors. But many more men to don the hypocycloids on their domes besides Franco Harris, Lynn Swann, Terry Bradshaw, Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes were responsible for those six rings. BTSC has prepared a ranking of the best-of-the-best not to be awarded the MVP trophies on those six championship teams.

Meanwhile, the Steelers were in the Super Bowl for the seventh time looking for a record sixth victory. Their opponent was led by former assistant coaches Ken Whisenhunt and Russ Grimm and a future assistant in Todd Haley. It was the Steelers and Cardinals in Tampa for Super Bowl XLIII.
Six times Super
February 1, 2009
Steelers 27, Arizona Cardinals 23
It took last second heroics in both halves of Super Bowl XLIII for the Steelers to make history and become the first NFL franchise to win six Super Bowl championships.
The Steelers were holding on to a 10-7 lead near the end of the first half when the Cardinals Karlos Dansby intercepted a tipped Ben Roethlisberger pass at the Steelers 33-yard line. Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner moved his team into scoring position with completions to Tim Hightower, Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin.
With the ball at the one-yard line and just 18 seconds to play in the half, the Cardinals were anticipating Lawrence Timmons and James Harrison blitzing, but Harrison gambled and dropped back in coverage and intercepted Warner s pass at the goal line.

Welcome to the latest edition of the Steelers Stock Report of the 2020 NFL season: Cincinnati Bengals edition. I have been granted the distinguished opportunity to attempt to determine which direction individual players, or units, are trending after each weekly matchup, to the best of my ability.

He is the best edge defender in the league must be accounted for on every play by the opposition.
