Ten years ago today, Steelers' Hines Ward ran wild in Super Bowl XL

That's right, it's been exactly 10 years since the Pittsburgh Steelers captured their fifth of six franchise Super Bowls, beating the Seattle Seahawks 21-10, Bill Cowher's first and only championship with the franchise.

On a February night in Detroit, Super Bowl 40 had two worthy teams, the Rolling Stones as halftime performers and several controversial calls from officials that didn't go the Seahawks' way.

Those who witnessed the game remember the calls: A pushoff that negated a Matt Hasselbeck touchdown pass, Ben Roethlisberger's 1-yard touchdown run as the ball questionably crossed the plane, and a holding call on the Seahawks on a critical passing play in scoring range.
