*did not play


EDIT1: I copied & pasted the above from a website, but PIK pointed out that Matt & Don Hasselbeck, and Lofa & Mosi Tatupu also work here so those 2 pairs are included in the answer.

I'll leave it for now but I'll have to do some more research to see if those are the only 7 father & son combos.



EDIT2: These 7 father/son combos are the correct answer.

* Hasselbeck and teammate Lofa Tatupu join their fathers, Don Hasselbeck (Raiders in XVIII) and Mosi Tatupu (Patriots in XX) as the sixth and seventh father/son combo to be on a Super Bowl team, joining Julius and Keith Adams, Frank and Frank Jr. Cornish, Tony and Anthony Dorsett, Bob and Brian Griese and Manu and Marques Tuiasosopo.

Looks like the website that I 1st saw the names on didn't include SB XL.


EDIT3: Looks like I dropped the ball again. As DDD pointed out in his answer, Aaron & Emery Moorehead become the 8th father/son combo to go to the Super Bowl as of tomorrow.

DDD has the correct answer...and I'm now 100% sure that is the correct answer. Sorry guys!

[POSADA is KING]

Lofa and Mosi Tatupu, Don and Matt Hasselbeck, and Peyton and Archie Manning also work here.

[flotsamnjetsam]

Lofa and Mosi Tatupu, Don and Matt Hasselbeck, and Peyton and Archie Manning also work here.

You're right about the Tatupu's & the Hasselbeck's, but Archie Manning never reached the Super Bowl.


Look's like the website I got my answer on was wrong so I'll add the Tatupu's & the Hasselbeck's to the answer.

[Dr. Duran Duran]

Looks like we were both looking at that same site, FJ. I immediately took notice that the Hass' were missing as were the Tatupu's, but it's easy to miss since it just happened last season with the Hawks making the big game.
