    A lot has changed in the five seasons since Seattle played Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XL. One thing hasn't changed: The officiating of that game remains a sore spot in Seattle. That's why the NFL assigning Bill Leavy, the referee for Super Bowl XL, to Sunday's Seahawks game in Pittsburgh is bound to cause some irritation and anger. The officiating of that game was criticized not just in Seattle, but nationally. Seattle was penalized seven times in the game, but two in the fourth quarter were particularly problematic.
