Super Bowl: Obama lauds Steelers

Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger found Super Bowl redemption and immortality in a title-winning drive for the ages on Sunday, thanks to some Steeler magic and a miracle catch by Santonio Holmes.

Roethlisbeger connected with Holmes in the back right corner of the end zone on a six-yard touchdown pass with 35 seconds remaining to give the Steelers a 27-23 victory over Arizona in Super Bowl 43 for an unprecedented sixth crown.

US President Barack Obama telephoned during the trophy presentation ceremony. "I talked to the President. He said congratulations," Steelers owner Dan Rooney said. "He said the players played great, did really well, things like that."
