	Indianapolis Colts — Super Bowl Champions Finally, the cries that Peyton Manning and the Colts couldn't win the big one have forever been silenced. With their rain-soaked victory over the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI, the Colts claimed their first world championship in 36 years. It was a defense that struggled against the run during the regular season that reigned supreme in January-first stopping Kansas City's Larry Johnson and then Baltimore's Jamal Lewis. Against the Patriots in the AFC title game, Manning and the Colts overcame a team that had defeated them in two previous playoff appearances. Join NFL Films as they relive the Colts' rise to the top of the National Football League. This video takes you from the opening whistle against the Giants to the final gun in Miami, where the Colts captured their second Super Bowl crown. Color. 171 mins. #1626 $19.95
	Super Bowl XL Champions Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl XL Champions Pittsburgh Steelers 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
