John Clayton: Steelers, 24-17
The premise that defense wins championships doesn’t necessarily apply in a time when the past two Super Bowl winners didn’t rank in the top 10 in scoring defense and when 21 defensive coordinators have been changed after the highest-scoring season since 1965.
What’s historically true is great defenses win championships and this is a great Steelers defense — particularly in stopping the pass. And the Cardinals’ offense is dominated by the pass.

Correct! The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Arizona Cardinals 27-23 in Super Bowl XLIII.
