Season

The Seahawks are a good team though, without Alexander, not a superbowl team even though he didnt do much. Shaun Alexander is the first player in NFL history to score 15 or more touchdowns during the regular season for four consecutive years.

Seattle's defense thrives despite distractions. The Seahawks had to deal with adversity and defensive personnel changes all season, but were never thrown off course. Each NFL team receives one week without a game, known as a bye, during the football season.

Pittsburgh set an NFL record with its ninth road win of the season and ended the Broncos' 11-game home winning streak. The Broncos had been second in the NFL in turnover margin during the regular season. "Big Ben", 26-4 as a starter, has matured into a seasoned leader in his second NFL season, one who can handle pressure.

Jurevicius is in his eighth season in the NFL and also has had an outstanding year. Seattle led the NFL with 50 sacks during the regular season and has four in the playoffs. His two playoff touchdowns tied him for second in the NFL last season. In terms of NFL ranks, this defense was #5 against the run and #7 in fewest points scored during the regular season.

Team

The Seahawks are the only NFL team to switch conferences twice in the post-merger era. These will be 60 hard-fought, difficult minutes against the hottest, most physical team in the NFL. Seattle has the experience and talent to compete with any team in the NFL. They have clearly established themselves as a the elite team in the NFL. We're the most hated team in the NFL and we're going to prove why in the Superbowl.

Every April the NFL conducts its amateur draft, in which each team obtains the rights to the professional services of the best college players. The move was killed by NFL owners and a $3 billion state lawsuit was filed against the team for reneging on their Kingdome lease.

Game

The officials are the best in the NFL for this game. The "Phantom Touchdown" game was decided by a legendary officiating error that became a primary factor in the NFL's reinstatement of instant replay. Everybody but the officials, who the NFL said called the best game of the decade. In the end, though, history will remember this game as one of the greatest playoff collapses in NFL history.

History

Thirty years into franchise history, Seattle is playing for the NFL championship for the first time. When you have running, passing and the best defensive back in the history of the NFL, you are going to be tough to beat.
