Bergen's Chris Hogan Will Play In Super Bowl 51, Comes Up Big In AFC Title Game

Chris Hogan had the game of his life Sunday.

The fourth-year wide receiver had nine catches for 180 yards and two touchdowns, both in the first half, including one on a beautiful flea-flicker pass

Hogan played three years of lacrosse at Penn State University. He graduated in 2010 and immediately enrolled at Mommouth University, playing just one year, The Boston Globe reported.

Hogan's father Joe said he was "so proud" of his son after Sunday's game, The Record reported.

The 6-foot-1, 210-pound Hogan ran roughshod over the Steelers' defense Sunday in the Patriots' 36-17 win.

Hogan told The Record that the game is "something that I'll remember for the rest of my career and probably for the rest of my life."

Hogan will get a chance to play for a championship Feb. 5 when the Patriots face off against Atlanta Falcons in Houston.
