2008 STEELERS v. 2015 STEELERS
Well, sometimes, life is like this. You put together a 256 team tournament covering the history of professional football and it ends with two Ben Roethlisberger teams.
JUST AS PROPHECY FORETOLD.
Okay, lets wrap it up. This game is in Pittsburgh. 'Cause why not?
2008 STEELERS 33 2015 STEELERS 18
The winners of the tournament. The 2008 Pittsburgh Steelers.
The '15 team scored first, a 15 yard Leveon Bell first qt TD run - the '08 team then ran off the next 23 points. Big Ben 17 yards to Hines Ward, a short Mewelde Moore TD run, 3 Jeff Reed FGs; it was 23-7 through 3 qtrs. The '15 team cut the lead to 5; Roethlisberger 43 yards to Antonio Brown, followed by a 2 pt conversion and then a Chris Boswell FG. 23-18, 6 minutes left in the game.
The '15 team forced a quick 3 and out - got the ball back - and Troy Polamalu takes a pick back 41 yards for a game sealing score. The '08 team tacks on a late FG for the final score.
Both Willie Parker and Mewelde Moore rush for over 100 yards in the win. James Harrison had a pick and a sack for the winning team (he also had a sack for the losing side). 115 yards receiving for Brown in the loss.
All hail the 2008 Steelers, champions of the world.
