The Pittsburgh Steelers 2008 Championship Season is a documentary which chronicles the journey of the Steelers to their 6th Super Bowl win in franchise history. The behind-the-scenes look at the season is narrated by Jeff Reed, the Steelers kicker, and is available through the NFL Network.

The documentary begins with a review of the 2007 season, where the Steelers failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2003. The off-season was marred with controversy as superstar running back, Willie Parker, held out for a new contract. However, the Steelers were able to sign two veteran players, James Farrior and Aaron Smith, to contract extensions.

The Steelers started the 2008 season with a bang, winning their first three games before dropping a close game to the Philadelphia Eagles. The defense was led by linebacker James Harrison, who would go on to win the Defensive Player of the Year award that year. The offense was led by Ben Roethlisberger, who threw for over 3,300 yards and 17 touchdowns.

The documentary also highlights some of the memorable moments of the season. In Week 13, the Steelers played against the Dallas Cowboys in a crucial match-up. In one of the most memorable plays of the year, defensive back Deshea Townsend intercepted a pass from Tony Romo and returned it for a touchdown, clinching the game for the Steelers. The next week, the Steelers faced off against the Baltimore Ravens in a game that would decide the AFC North division. The Steelers won the game 13-9, with Roethlisberger throwing a game-winning touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes in the final minutes of the game.

The playoffs were full of drama for the Steelers. In the divisional round, the Steelers played the San Diego Chargers, who were riding a hot streak with quarterback Philip Rivers playing through a knee injury. The Steelers defense held Rivers to under 300 yards passing and sacked him four times in a 35-24 victory.

The AFC Championship game, against their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, was one for the ages. The Ravens defense held the Steelers to just 259 yards of total offense and three turnovers. However, one of the biggest plays of the game was made by Troy Polamalu, who intercepted a Joe Flacco pass and returned it for a touchdown to seal the victory for the Steelers. The final score was 23-14.

The Super Bowl was a classic match-up between the Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals. The game started off poorly for the Steelers, who gave up two touchdowns in the first quarter. However, they were able to bounce back, with Roethlisberger hitting Holmes on a 40-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. The game was tied 20-20 with just over two minutes left in the game. Roethlisberger led the Steelers down the field with a series of impressive passes, culminating in a remarkable catch by Holmes in the corner of the end zone for the game-winning touchdown. The Steelers won the Super Bowl 27-23.

The documentary concludes with footage of the team's victory parade in downtown Pittsburgh, where thousands of fans came out to celebrate the team's victory.

In conclusion, the Pittsburgh Steelers 2008 Championship Season is a must-watch for any Steelers fan or football fan in general. The documentary perfectly captures the highs and lows of the season and shows just how much dedication, hard work, and teamwork it takes to win a Super Bowl. The documentary will make you feel like you are a part of the team and will leave you feeling inspired and grateful to have been a part of such a historic moment in football history.
