SALT LAKE CITY- The Seattle Seahawks are going back to the Super Bowl.

A year after blowing out the Denver Broncos in the franchise’s first Super Bowl title, the Seahawks are going again, after picking up a 28-22 overtime victory over the Green Bay Packers.

Several players with Utah ties played significant roles in the game, and specifically players with ties to Utah State. Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner made ten tackles in the game, while Seahawks running back Robert Turbin rushed for eight yards.

Green Bay defensive back Jarrett Bush, another Aggie alum, made a tackle for the Packers.

The Seahawks will face the New England Patriots, who picked up a blowout 45-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Utah alumnus Sealver Siliga made three tackles for the Patriots, who will play in their sixth Super Bowl under coach Bill Belichick.
