For most NFL players; the onset of retirement is a sad occasion. Not so for Jerome Bettis. After Super Bowl XL; Bettis; the heart and soul of the Pittsburgh Steelers; hung up his cleats with the Vince Lombardi Trophy in his hands. Entering the 2005 season; many thought Bettis' prolific career was still incomplete. Nicknamed The Bus for his battering runs; he was one of the league's greatest players to have never won a world title. Still; the Steelers team around him had all the markings of a champion; a precocious quarterback; a physical defense; and the motivation to win a ring for their future Hall of Famer. It didn't come easy. After an 11-5 regular season; Pittsburgh became the first sixth-seeded team to reach a Super Bowl; winning three dramatic playoff games on the road. Then; in Bettis' hometown of Detroit; the Steelers beat the Seattle Seahawks; 21-10; allowing the veteran to call it quits in storybook fashion. Join NFL Films as they retell the story of the '05 Steelers; a club that won One for the Thumb. America's Game uses exclusive interviews with Bettis; Bill Cowher and Joey Porter to recount Pittsburgh's fifth championship season.
