when is the super bowl 2011By Telegraph staff and agencies 10:05AM GMT 24 Jan 2011
The Steelers raced into a 24-0 lead with first-half touchdowns from Rashard Mendenhall, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and William Gay, who recovered a fumble from quarterback Mark Sanchez and returned it 19 yards.
Nick Folk at least got the Jets on the scoreboard with a 42-yard field goal before half-time and the visitors made a dramatic start to the third quarter to threaten a comeback.
Sanchez connected with Santonio Holmes on a 45-yard touchdown pass to reduce the deficit to 24-10, but the Jets then crucially failed to punch it in from the one-yard line after a long drive.
They did tackle Roethlisberger in the endzone for a safety and then made it 24-19 with a touchdown from Jerrico Cotchery, but Pittsburgh were able to run out the clock to cling on for the win.
