Super Bowl LIV: Notre Dame alums McGlinchey and Day play for rings on Sunday

This Sunday is the big day — Super Bowl LIV! The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers will square off for NFL supremacy. Two former Notre Dame players are likely going to play key roles in how the game shakes out.

Offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey has been a key part of San Francisco’s run to the Super Bowl — especially in the postseason. 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has only been sacks three times during the postseason — a testament to the passing blocking of McGlinchey and Co. Additionally, the 49ers have rushed for 471 yards during their two postseason contests.
