The Seattle Seahawks ' second Super Bowl victory in franchise history made two Utah ties champions.
The Seahawks' defense put on a clinic as Seattle beat New England 29-13 in Super Bowl LX on Sunday night at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
It was a quiet night for most of the six Utah ties in Sunday's Super Bowl, which included four active players, an offensive assistant and another player on the practice squad.
Rashid Shaheed , WR/return specialist, Weber State:Shaheed had the biggest impact of the Utah ties in the Super Bowl, and the speedster just missed out on making a couple big gains.
Shaheed ended up with two receptions for 27 yards, one carry for minus-5 yards, two punt returns for 16 yards and one kickoff return for 20 yards in the win.
His biggest play was a 16-yard catch early in a field-goal scoring drive early in the second half that led to Seattle's fourth field goal of the night.
He was also targeted twice on long throws that came within inches of being completions. On one, Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez tipped the ball away at the last moment, and on the other, a Sam Darnold pass was just over Shaheed's outstretched hands early in the fourth quarter.
Shaheed is the seventh former Weber State player to win a Super Bowl but only the fourth to play in a Super Bowl.
He also set a Super Bowl record, finishing with six fair catches in a game where the Patriots punted the ball eight times.
Before the game, he weighed in on what a victory would mean to him as a representative of the Wildcats.
"I think that moment would just be bigger than just me," he told the Deseret News. "That would be an opportunity to let kids know that you can make it from anywhere. You don't have to go to a Power (Four) school. You can go to an FCS school and make it happen."
