G'day Ottoman,
It was the Seattle Seahawks.
Seattle fell short in its bid for its first NFL title, losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers at Super Bowl XL in Detroit, Michigan on February 5, 2006 by a score of 21-10. Although the Seahawks outgained the Steelers, 396 yards to 339, Pittsburgh won on the strength of three big plays converted for touchdowns. Seattle, on the other hand, was plagued by controversial penalties, dropped balls, poor clock management, and a game-ending interception on a drive deep into Pittsburgh territory.
The several controversial calls made during Super Bowl XL were met with criticism from both fans and members of the media, as many suggested that the officials had wrongly nullified several key plays made by the Seattle offense. Jason Whitlock, writing for the Kansas City Star, encapsulated many views when he wrote the day after the game, "Leavy and his crew ruined Super Bowl XL. Am I the only one who would like to hear them defend their incompetence?"
In response to the criticisms, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in a statement, "The game was properly officiated, including, as in most NFL games, some tight plays that produced disagreement about the calls made by the officials." The game ended a playoffs season that was plagued by complaints about officiating.
In fairness, you can't blame the officials for dropped balls, poor clock management or intercepts. The Pittsburgh Steelers deserve credit for holding on and winning when under pressure from the Seahawks and for making the clutch plays. Hines Ward deserves particular credit for two plays that he made.
I enclose further information.
Regards
