Super Bowl XL was an American football game pitting the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Pittsburgh Steelers against the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Seattle Seahawks to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 2005 season. Played on February 5, 2006, at Ford Field in Detroit, the Steelers defeated the Seahawks, 21 - 10, to join the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys as the only franchises to have won five Super Bowls. Steelers receiver Hines Ward, who caught 5 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 18 yards, was named Super Bowl MVP. Pittsburgh finished the regular season with an 11-5 record and became the fourth wild card team, and third in nine years, to win the Super Bowl. The Steelers also became the first #6 seed in the NFL playoffs to win a Super Bowl (and the first #6 seed to win a conference title).
