ATLANTA — The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will meet for a rematch in Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. The last time the two met in the Super Bowl was the Patriots’ 28-24 win in Super Bowl XLIX.

You can count on there always being a Georgia connection to the Super Bowl. One of the head coaches is from here.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald grew up in Roswell and attended Centennial High School and the University of Georgia.

Then of course, there are the players who started their careers on the gridiron in Georgia.
