A Pittsburgh Steelers-Seattle Seahawks matchup in Super Bowl XL very clearly holds a special place in Steelers lore, thanks to the 21-10 win that day, giving head coach Bill Cowher that elusive Super Bowl title while giving the franchise its fifth ever.
It was a special day in Detroit, but another Steelers-Seahawks matchup, this time in Pittsburgh at then-Heinz Field often gets overlooked. It was one of the greatest displays of dominance from the Steelers’ vaunted defense of that era, but it goes relatively forgotten in Pittsburgh history.
That would be the October 7, 2007 matchup between the Steelers and Seahawks at Heinz Field in Week 5 of the 2007 season, a rematch of Super Bowl XL with a number of the key faces from the title game matchup still around for both teams.
