We already gave you two reasons the Seattle Seahawks will win the Super Bowl. Here’s the third. There’s a site called What If Sports that lets you simulate games between any two teams in history — very useful for settling debates. Well, we simulated Seahawks vs Steelers at Ford Field and here are the results.
Despite a three fumble effort by Seattle, the Steelers are unable to capitalize and manage only 6 points in the game. Ben Roethlisberg is error free but only 11 for 29 and 109 yards and the Steelers run game cannot do any damage as they can only muster 69 yards in the game.
The Seahawks run game fares only slightly better with 95 yards but MVP Matt Hasselbeck is the difference in the game going 23 for 35, 242 yards and 1 TD. The 1 TD was a 1 yard pass to Shaun Alexander on a play action pass. The top receiver in the game is Jerramy Stevens with 4 recs for 64 yards, his 28 yard catch setting up the lone touchdown in the game. Josh Brown kicks 2 FGs in the second half to provide the final margin of victory.
With 3:18 left in the 4th, Ben Roethlisberger has a chance to pull off the comeback victory but after getting to the Pittsburgh 42, the final drive results in only 1 yard with the last three plays incomplete passes. Seattle gets the ball back and runs out the clock, celebrating their first Super Bowl victory in franchise history!
So there you have it. Take the ‘Hawks and take the under. I don’t even know why they bother playing these games.
