At least one Golden Bear will be in the Super Bowl. Perhaps three?
Both the teams involved in the NFC Championship feature at least one Cal Bear.
- Green Bay Packers: QB Aaron Rodgers, TE Richard Rodgers, WR Trevor Davis
- Atlanta Falcons: C Alex Mack

And of course Rodgers had the famous clutch throw to Cook to set up the game-winning field goal.

Davis also played in the contest for several snaps.
Mack anchored Atlanta's offensive line Saturday in a 36-20 home victory over Seattle in the first NFL playoff game of his eight-year career. The Falcons continued to be one of the NFL's top offenses, racking up 422 total yards including 323 through the air.
