Super Bowl fans will have a rematch 11 years in the making as the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks will face off once again for the Lombardi Trophy.
The big game will kick off at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Feb. 8 at 6:30 p.m. ET.
This year, the Seahawks are looking to stop the Patriots’ run for their record-breaking seventh Super Bowl victory, The Associated Press said.
Instead of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, the Patriots will be led by coach Mike Vrabel and QB Drake Maye, taking the team to their 12th Super Bowl. They beat the Denver Broncos 10-7 on Sunday night in the AFC championship.
On the Seahawks side, Sam Darnold is under center, with Mike Macdonald on the sideline, taking the team to their fourth Super Bowl appearance after becoming the NFC champions, beating the Los Angeles Rams 31-27.
Freezing rain and sleet has moved out of north Georgia, but now the coldest air of the season is settling in behind it.
If they beat the Patriots, it will be the Seahawks’ second title.
Here are the players with local connections to Georgia.
