The 2010 Pittsburgh Steelers enjoyed a stellar season, finishing with a 12-4 record and clinching the AFC North title behind a league-best defense that allowed the fewest points and rushing yards. Led by NFL Defensive Player of the Year Troy Polamalu and a resilient offense, the team demonstrated championship poise by winning the AFC Championship and advancing to Super Bowl XLV. The Pittsburgh Steelers enjoyed a highly successful decade in the 2010s, amassing a 102-57-1 regular-season record and consistently competing at a high level. They reached Super Bowl XLV and featured a powerhouse offense led by the "Killer B's"—Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, and Le'Veon Bell—supported by perennial Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey and a perennially dominant defense. The 16th overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, Troy Polamalu was a legendary safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers who earned eight Pro Bowl selections, the 2010 Defensive Player of the Year award, and two Super Bowl championships before his 2020 induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
