BIG BEN 11/4 FOR GREATNESS
Last year’s final featured two fine QB’s in Donovan McNabb and Tom Brady.
Brady was calm the whole game because he was playing in his third Super
Bowl in four years, while McNabb (playing his first) was erratic. Nerves
will again play a large part in this year’s Super Bowl.
Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger will become the second youngest QB (after the Dolphin’s Dan Marino) to play in a Super Bowl at 23 years 11 months. Last year, he came close to becoming the first rookie QB to start in a Super Bowl, but was
intercepted three times in the Steeler’s 41-27 loss to the Pats in the AFC Championship game. Against Denver, he looked much more comfortable when completing 13-of-17 passes for 180 yards and two TD’s in the first half, before finishing the job in the fourth quarter with a four-yard TD. That was his third striking performance in the playoffs. He’s 11/4 favorite to pick up the Super Bowl MVP award, ahead of his Seattle counterpart Matt Hasselback, and the league MVP Shaun Alexander at 3/1.
