Earlier: Super Bowl XLV (45) will feature two teams steeped in Big Game tradition. Two of the most storied teams in NFL history, the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have won six Super Bowl Championships, and the Green Bay Packers, who own 12 Championships including a trio of Super bowl titles, are set to collide in Arlington in Super Bowl XLV for the Lombardi Trophy  this Sunday, February 6, 2011.

The Green Bay Packers entered the 2011 NFL playoffs as a wildcard team, but they beat Philadelphia in the Wildcard Round, manhandled Atlanta in the Divisional Round, and defeated the Bears in the NFC Championship to earn a berth in Super Bowl XLV.

Pittsburgh Steelers on the other hand, had a shorter road as they only had to overcome Baltimore in the Divisional Round match up, and then hold on for dear life against the Jets in the AFC Championship game to punch their ticket to this year's Big Game.

Super Bowl  2011 is expected to gather around 150 million viewers worldwide. As such, it is the perfect venue for advertisers to air their commercials.
