One for the Thumb + One
During the run-up to Super Bowl XL, which the Steelers won, the rallying cry of the Steeler Nation was "One for the Thumb," a reference to the Steelers having rings from their four previous Super Bowl wins. Last night, with the Nation and their Terrible Towels in full battle array at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL, they defeated the Arizona Cardinals 27-23 in Super Bowl XLIII for their sixth Super Bowl victory. Only four more to go for a complete set!
