The Pitt*****urgh Steelers have won Super Bowl 43 - defeating the Arizona Cardinals in a thrilling 27-23 football game in Tampa, Florida.
The Steelers now own a record six Super Bowl titles. And, star receiver Hines Ward has the nickname for the collection.
"We call it a six pack. They [the fans] are calling it a six pack," he said. "We can bring home a six pack to all the fans back in the city of Pitt*****urgh."
Ward caught two passes from quarterback Ben Roethli*****erger, both on the opening drive, to put the Steelers in position for a field goal. The Steelers got a touchdown as the second quarter began.
Arizona's Kurt Warner answered against the NFL's top-rated defense with an impressive drive of his own, capping it with a scoring toss to tight end Ben Patrick. The Cardinals were on the move again near half-time. But Warner's pass to the end zone was intercepted by Pitt*****urgh linebacker James Harrison, who rumbled the entire length of the field for a 100-yard score.
Harrison says the win is more satisfying than Pitt*****urgh's last Super Bowl triumph, three years ago.
"This one means a lot more to me than the previous one. I was only on special teams," he said. "I actually only played in two of the playoff games including the Super Bowl [40]. So this one means more to me because I am a core guy on the defense now."
With the score at 20-7 in favor of Pitt*****urgh, at the end of the third, the fourth quarter provided the most drama of the game. Warner connected twice with receiver Larry Fitzgerald for touchdowns, the second a 64-yard strike that put Arizona in front.
But it was Roethli*****erger who engineered the winning drive, culminating in a six-yard pass to Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Santonio Holmes, making the final score 27-23.
