and Pittsburgh Steelers take to the turf at Lumen Field on Sunday afternoon for their Week 17 showdown, it won’t be the highest stakes matchup between the two teams. That, of course, goes to Super Bowl XL in which the Steelers defeated the Hawks 21-10, handing Mike Holmgren the second Super Bowl loss of his career. Unlike the Super Bowl, in which the Seahawks were 4-point underdogs, Seattle enters this one as 4-point favorites, per DraftKings Sportsbook.
Seahawks fans will, no doubt, be quick to blame the refs and excuse the performance of the team, but it wasn’t the refs that allowed the longest rushing play in Super Bowl history.
