The Green Bay Packers are looking to do what their oppenent did in 2006, and the New York Giants did in 2008 as a #5 Seed ( I'm not as smart as I thought), and thats to win the Super Bowl as a #6 seed. The Steelers did it in 2006, by defeated the Bengals, Colts and Broncos, then beat the Seahawks in Detroit to become the first #6 seed to win the Lombardi Trophy. The New York Football Giants shocked the world in 2007, the made the playoffs as a #5 seed coming within a few plays of ending New Englands hopes of a perfect season in 2007. They would beat Tampa, before beating Division Rival Dallas in the divisional round and then ending Brett Favre's Green Bay career the following week. The Giants went in to Super Bowl XLII as heavy underdogs, but lead by linebacker Michael Strahan, Quarterback Eli Manning, Wide Receiver's Plaxico Burress, David Tyree, running back Brandon Jacob and Coach Tom Coughlin, the Giants, shocked America and defeated the heavily favored Patriots 17-14. I still can not believe that the Giants won Super Bowl XLII, however, I am happy for Eli Manning, because to me, he is no longer "Peyton's Brother", he went from being Peyton's brother, to a elite quarterback that night.
I think the Steelers will win Super Bowl XLV, it will be a good game. Mike Tomlin is a no nonsense guy and you can never underestimate a defense coached by Dick Lebeau.
