How he got there: Six years after his older brother's incredible playoff run, Andre Dyson has a chance to make his own Super Bowl headlines. Kevin Dyson, a University of Utah standout, was part of two of the most famous plays in NFL playoff history — scoring a touchdown in the "Music City Miracle" and later getting tackled 1 yard short of the goal line on the final play of Super Bowl XXXIV. Now, it's Andre's turn to play in the big game. Dyson signed as a free agent before the 2005 season after four solid years in Tennessee, where he was a second-round draft pick in 2001. He totalled 60 straight starts and 16 interceptions with the Titans. This year, despite battling injuries, Dyson has been an important piece of Seattle's unheralded defense. He started the team's first five games before sitting out the next two with a hamstring injury. He sat out the final four regular-season games due to an ankle injury but has been in the lineup for two playoff victories. Just like he was with the Utes, Dyson has been a playmaker for Seattle, scoring two touchdowns — one each on interception and punt returns — and had 20 tackles in the regular season.
