The Steelers is predominantly a running team riding on running back Willie Parker to lead the charge! Offensively, the Steelers are not potent ranking a measly 22nd in total offense. Their bread and butter however is their formidable defence being ranked number 1 and 2 in terms of passing and rushing during the regular season, respectively. This being said, 7/8 times in Superbowl history that a top ranked defensive team has won the Lombardi trophy!
On the other hand, the Cardinals is a passing team relying heavily on Kurt Warner's arms. They rank 2nd in passing offense and 4th in total offense during the regular season. However, Cardinal's Achilles heel is their defense which ranks 19th in the league.
This is a classic DEFENSE vs OFFENSE game!
In order to win, The Cardinals must do the following:
1. The offensive line needs to make sure that Warner gets his time in the pocket.
2. James needs to step up his running game.
3. The Cardinal defense must contain Willie Parker.
Since I'm not rooting for the Steelers---I guess they just have to lay down and die!
