Super Bowl XL, played on February 5, 2006, at Ford Field in Detroit, saw the Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the Seattle Seahawks 21–10. The Steelers became the first-ever #6 seed to win the championship, tying the record with their fifth Super Bowl victory, while the Seahawks made their franchise's first appearance. Key plays included Willie Parker's record 75-yard touchdown run and Antwaan Randle El's historic 43-yard touchdown pass to Hines Ward, who was named MVP. The game was the last to air on ABC and the first broadcast entirely in high definition. However, the officiating drew heavy criticism, with NFL Films later ranking it among the most controversial calls in league history. Detroit had been awarded the game in 2000 as a reward for building its new stadium, marking the second Super Bowl held in the area.
