PACKERS HOLD OFF STEELERS TO GRAB SUPER BOWL CROWN

At Arlington, Texas:

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers (named the game's Most Valuable Player) threw for three touchdowns, two to Greg Jennings and one more to Jordy Nelson, while defensive back Nick Collins returned a Ben Roethlisberger pass for another score as the Green Bay Packers held off the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 Sunday night to win Super Bowl XLV.  The win marked the Packers fourth Super Bowl title (their first in 14 years) and their thirteenth National Football League championship overall, a league record. 21 of the Packers' points came off three Pittsburgh turnovers, two Ben Roethlisberger picks and a fumble by running back Rashard Mendenhall.
