Steelers off to Super Bowl XL.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are now off to Super Bowl XL in Detroit, after defeating the Broncos in Denver 34-17 - the sixth seed in the AFC defeating the second seed. This comes just one week after defeating the #1 seed Colts at RCA Dome to get there. And if they were to win the big game, it would be quite possibly a storybook season, as Jerome Bettis, who may retire at the end of the season, will get to play what may be the final game of his career - and a big one indeed - in his hometown of Detroit! The fact that the Steelers got past the Colts makes them good enough to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Who will they play? Either Seattle, with the great running back who is Shawn Alexander (from nearby Boone County HS, Kentucky) or Carolina, which has some recent Super Bowl experience and up and coming Nick Goings and powerful Jake Delhomme (enough with the ass tear jokes).
