The Huskers are represented in the Super Bowl for the 28th time in the last 30 years, with Cincinnati's 27-24 win in overtime at Kansas City on Sunday.
Head coach Zac Taylor and wide receiver Stanley Morgan Jr. make their first Super Bowl appearance after capturing the AFC Championship as the No. 4 seed.
In his third season as a head coach, Taylor improved his career in the playoffs to 3-0 after wins over Las Vegas and Tennessee in the Wild Card and Divisional Rounds.
If the Bengals win Super Bowl LVI, the 38-year-old Taylor will be the second-youngest head coach ever to win a Super Bowl.
