The Pittsburgh Steelers are the new AFC Champs and are headed to Detroit to play in Super Bowl XL! After a convincing 31-17 win over the Denver Broncos, the 6th seeded Wildcard team that nobody gave a chance to has taken it all the way! Never has a 6th seeded team made it to the Super Bowl until now. The Steelers almost didn't even make playoffs, but one more regular season win squeezed them into the post season. However, despite being the underdogs for every single playoff game, the Steelers proved critics wrong. They showed that football isn't played with a bunch of stats on paper, but rather with alot of heart on the field.
The Black & Gold will take on the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XL. Unlike the Steelers, the Seahawks have never been to a Super Bowl. So this is a first in their franchise history which makes the trip that much sweeter. Although, I hate to say that it will also make their future Super Bowl lose to the Steelers that much more bitter. Yes, I'm predicting my Steelers will finally get "one for the thumb" - their 5th Super Bowl ring. More than likely, this will be running back Jerome Bettis's last game and last shot at a Super Bowl ring. Usually Super Bowl games are blowouts and I wouldn't mind if the tradition continued this year, as long as it is the Seahawks getting spanked. Finally, a Super Bowl game that will be good to watch for the game and not just the commercials or occasional boob popping incidents.
