On Sunday afternoon, we were treated to commercials for a movie featuring two brothers, one in red clothing and the other in green, and were promised a release date of April 7. It turns out we do not have to wait that long to witness an epic brother matchup that rivals anything Hollywood can script.

The entire NFL season comes down to this. The matchup for Super Bowl LVII is set: the NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles face the AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs. This is the first Super Bowl matchup between No. 1 seeds since 2018.
In the 2018 matchup, Super Bowl LII, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New England Patriots, 41-33. They will attempt to repeat history this year.
Las Vegas sees this matchup about as evenly on paper as possible, as the opening line for Super Bowl LVII is a pick’em between the Eagles and Chiefs.
The Empire State Building had some fun its lighting after the Eagles and Chiefs punched their tickets to the Super Bowl.
Travis Kelce invoked The Rock when he addressed the Cincinnati mayor after the AFC Championship Game.

In the video, Pureval refers to Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium as “Burrowhead Stadium” and says star QB Joe Burrow had a take a paternity test to see if he’s Patrick Mahomes father.

Joseph Ossai’s decision cost the Bengals another trip to the Super Bowl.
The Cincinnati Bengals have no one to blame but themselves for how the AFC Championship Game ended in Kansas City. Despite having drained the Chiefs’ timeouts with 17 seconds remaining in the game, the Bengals produced an impactful penalty that pushed Kansas City from outside of field goal range to inside field goal range and completely turned the game on its head in an instant.
Cincinnati lacked composure in the most critical moments. In a battle between two of the NFL’s absolute best — and the Bengals belong in that company — it was enough to make a difference.
The third quarterback designation would have helped San Francisco against the Eagles. Plus, what Nathaniel Hackett’s hiring means for Aaron Rodgers, Bill O’Brien’s impact on Mac Jones, the Bills’ championship window and much more.
The Eagles are headed back to their first Super Bowl since the 2017 season after defeating the 49ers 31–7 in the NFC championship Sunday.
The win snapped the Bengals’ streak of three straight wins over Mahomes and the Chiefs.

After a wild AFC title game that saw the Chiefs advance to their third Super Bowl in four seasons with a 23–20 victory over the Bengals, Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce had a message for the naysayers in the postgame.
As Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was being interviewed on the field by CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson, Kelce interrupted the scrum with an incredible reaction.
The star tight end reflected on Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson’s injuries following San Francisco’s NFC Championship loss.
On a day where injuries derailed the 49ers offense, George Kittle summed the outing up with a brutally honest assessment following Sunday’s 31–7 loss to the Eagles in the NFC Championship game.
The star tight end contributed three catches for 32 yards in the contest, though it’s fair to wonder if Kittle’s impact may have been greater had quarterback Brock Purdy not suffered an early-game elbow injury.
