Since the NFL expanded its playoff field to six teams from each conference in 1990, the 2005 Pittsburgh Steelers and the 2010 Green Bay Packers have been the only No. 6 seeds to win the Super Bowl.
Two sixth seed NFL teams have gone on to reach and win the Super Bowl. The sixth seed 2005 Pittsburgh Steelers and the sixth seed 2010-11 Green Bay Packers beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV. How ironic. You all forget about the giants in 07 they did it to so that means 3 teams have won it all from the 6th seed check your facts whoever wrote this
Pittsburgh Steelers
Most recently the 10-6 Green Bay Packers as a 6th seed went to the Super Bowl in 2011 and beat the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Yes, the Pittsburgh Steelers (AFC) in 2005 and Green Bay Packers (NFC) in 2010. Both were second wild-card teams (6th seed).
Yes, the 2009 Indianapolis Colts did this (amongst others).
Could be the Super Bowl XV Wild Card team Oakland Raiders, who beat the favored Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 27 - 10 on January 25, 1981. The very next year, the Raiders didn't even make the playoffs, with a losing season, going 7-9-0. And although the 6th seed Wild Card team Pittsburgh Steelers won Super Bowl XL, they could never be referred to as a "Worst" anything. It was a matter of # of wins and losses that had them at 6th seed, but they knew how to persevere. The next season was a break-even for the Steelers at 8 - 8, but QB Ben Roethlisberger, prior to the beginning of that season, was riding his motorcycle without a helmet and was hit by a car, resulting in lots of injuries. He later had an appendicitis attack and more surgery and then had a concussion at the beginning of the season. Then the 5th seed Wild Card team New York Giants won Super Bowl XLII, defeating the previously UNDEFEATED New England Patriots, who ended the season 18 - 1. I'm not so sure that any team who wins a Super Bowl could be considered a worst. Because the Giants were great !
