　　Xinhua News: The 41st American Super Bowl Finals started in the drizzle in Miami on the 4th. The Indianapolis Colts came from behind, beating the Chicago Bears 29-17 to win the Vince Lombardi Cup.

　　In America, rugby is called American football. Founded in 1920, the NFL reached a merger agreement with its main competitor, the American Football League (AFL), who is 40 years younger than it, in 1966, and decided that the champions of the two leagues would hold a "World Championship" every year. In 1970, after the NFL, the Super Bowl became synonymous with the finals.

　　In the first quarter, the bears played well in attack and defense, leading by 14: 6. However, in the second quarter, the colts stepped up their attack. Organized by the famous quarterback Manning, they tied 10 points in a row and ended the first half with 16: 14. In the third quarter, the two sides were basically in a stalemate, and the colts and bears only scored 6 points and 3 points by shooting.

　　In the fourth quarter, the colts basically grasped the initiative on the field and extended their lead to 12 points. The energetic bears launched an active attack in the final stage, but failed to turn the score card again in the face of the colts’ solid defense.

　　Although there is only one American football game, it is a festival for American football fans in the United States and even the whole world. Tens of millions of American families watch the live broadcast of the game, and tens of millions of Americans go out to attend various parties. This day is considered to be the second largest consumption day in the United States after Thanksgiving. A few days ago, Forbes published the ranking list of the most valuable sports events in the world for the first time in history. As a result, the Super Bowl, the first brand sports event in the United States, ranked first with $379 million.
