Notre Dame alum Rylie Mills had an impact in Super Bowl LX. Now with the Seattle Seahawks, Mills had a sack of New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye during the Seahawks 29-13 victory over New England.
After the game, he said his thought process before the sack was simple -- he didn't want to think anymore. He just wanted to "go." Except he added a word we can't repeat here before the word "go."
Mills, a rookie, bull-rushed his blocker, fellow rookie Jared Wilson, backwards into Maye, and then reached past Wilson to grab Maye and bring him down. The sack took place with New England facing 2nd down and 7 from their own 38-yard-line with 10:38 remaining in the second quarter.
Wilson is a Georgia alum, meaning that he and Mills were on opposing sides of the line during the 2025 Allstate Sugar Bowl -- Notre Dame won that College Football Playoff matchup 23-10.
Now Mills got the best of Wilson again during a winning postseason effort -- except this time, it was in the Super Bowl.
