Kyle Van Noy is headed to his third straight Super Bowl, while JoJo Natson will get his first taste of the championship game.
The duo represent the two Utah ties on active rosters for this year’s Super Bowl LIII participants: the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams.
Van Noy, the former BYU linebacker, started for the Patriots in their 37-31 overtime victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in the AFC championship game and made several big plays.
The former Utah State speedster Natson, meanwhile, played a minimal role for the Rams in their 23-20 overtime win over the New Orleans Saints in the NFC championship game.
