Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had a 1-yard scoring run.
The Steelers ended the season with eight straight wins on the road and won the Super Bowl for the fifth time in six appearances.
Seattle's Matt Hasselbeck was 26-of-49 passing for 273 yards, one touchdown and one interception; Shaun Alexander gained 95 yards on 20 attempts but place-kicker Josh Brown missed two of his three field goal tries.
The Seahawks were making their first Super Bowl trip.
