We get Brady vs. Brees today. Winner plays Rogers. The three best “old guys” on one side of the bracket, that’s pretty sweet.
On the other side, we could have Mahomes vs. Allen, the two best young QBs in the NFL. That’s a pretty awesome matchup. The Super Bowl is going to be one of the best three QBs of the older generation vs. the best/second best young QB in the NFL. If it’s Mahomes, he’s playing for a second Super Bowl and could start the “will he pass Brady” conversation. If Buffalo is in the Super Bowl, it’s Josh Allen trying to tie Mahomes and will setup a Manning-Brady type rivalry. There are some really cool QB storylines no matter how this thing plays out.
Unless the Browns win. It would be a cool story, but nobody wants to see Baker Mayfield in the AFC championship game or Super Bowl.
