The Green Bay Packers were trying to play defense without cornerback Charles Woodson. Their wide receivers couldn't seem to hold onto the ball with veteran receiver Donald Driver also sidelined by an injury. Somehow, they found a way to win.

Of course they did.

The Packers have kept on winning through injuries and adversity all season.

They beat the Steelers 31-25 in the Super Bowl on Sunday despite their flaws. It's a fitting end to the season for a team that found a way to get there despite having 16 players, including six starters, on injured reserve.
