	Pittsburgh Steelers—2006 Super Bowl Champions The Pittsburgh Steelers quest for a fifth Super Bowl title was an epic journey that took 26 years to complete. In 2004, the Steelers finished with the best record in the history of the AFC, only to lose the championship game for the fifth time in their last six tries. The loss was particularly painful for the Steeler family because many suspected it would be the final game of Jerome Bettis' career. But the 5th all-time leading rusher in NFL history returned in 2005, hoping for one more shot at a title. In Week 14, with the team 7-5 and the season on the line, Bettis ran for 101 yards and two touchdowns in a 21-9 victory over the NFC North champion Chicago Bears. The Steelers did not lose again. Highlighted by a "heart-stopping" sequence that will forever be known in Pittsburgh as the Immaculate Redemption, the Steelers improbable run to a title included wins on the road over the top three seeds in the AFC--the Cincinnati Bengals, the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos. In Super Bowl XL, played in Jerome Bettis' hometown of Detroit, the Steelers defeated the Seattle Seahawks and became the first sixth seed in NFL history to win it all. Approx. 180 mins. #1595 $19.95

This heart-stopping, final second 35-34 victory instantly became one of college football's most memorable comebacks. Vol. 4—1988 Regular Season game vs. Miami Miami started the game with a 36-game regular-season winning streak and a menacing defense. However, it was the Notre Dame defense that forced seven turnovers to secure a 31-30 win. Vol. 5—1989 Fiesta Bowl vs. West Virginia Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz used the press to solidify the belief that the Irish had their hands full with the mighty West Virginia defense.

Vol. 6—1992 "The Snow Bowl" vs. Penn State In their last home game, three players led a brilliant Irish comeback in the swirling snow of Notre Dame Stadium.
