Jacksonville NONE
Minnesota Jeremiah Sirles
New England Rex Burkhead, Vincent Valentine IR
Philadelphia Nathan Gerry

Obviously, this means Jacksonville does not make it. I don't care, I want Tom Brady to lose but i won't mind Burkhead getting a Ring.

I think Sirles is from Minnesota, How awesome would it be to be from Minnesota, be a Minnesota Viking, and play your first Super Bowl in Minnesota and possibly win it? That would be so cool for him.

Either way, the NFC will have a team with a Nebraska player on it.

Is the streak of having a Husker in the Super Bowl still going, or did that get busted last season?

I feel like this is in jeopardy this year. only 3 teams left with Huskers, all are in NFC, which helps because it's basically a 75% shot of getting one of them there, but that one team is the top freaking seed, the Saints.

Cowboys - I'm sorry, but never getting there with Garret as coach.
Eagles - i just don't see Foles getting it done again this year.

That leaves the Rams - they need Gurley to be 100% healthy and back to his old self. I just don't have a good feeling about them with the way they closed out the season, losing to both the Bears and Eagles (playoff teams) and letting the 49ers stay way too close in the last game, a game they needed to get the first round bye. Saints had their number in the regular season at home and it will be quite the shootout if that's what it comes down to.

Crap. i'm dumb. forgot Burkhead.

so one chance on the AFC side. it could happen, the Tom Brady magic, Mahonnes could falter, not having the experience and old Beli, dialing up that D to stop him.

if it wasn't called it wasn't pass interference. But hey as a Rams fan I will take it any way I can.

Lots of people bitchin and moaning. In real time, my first question because of the camera angle, I just assumed the ball was past the receiver. On review it's a lot easier to see.

This will be the 5th year in a row, where a Nebraska player has won a Super Bowl Ring.

2014 Alfonzo Dennard and Eric Martin Patriots
2015 Zaire Anderson Broncos
2016 Vince Valentine Patriots
2017 Nate Gerry Eagles
2018 Burkhead or Suh

If the every two year pattern holds, New England will win. In the Super Bowl, Tom Brady has only lost to NFC East teams, Giants and Eagles.

Tom Brady is 5-3 in the Super Bowl. This will be his 9th appearance in the Super Bowl.

Tom Brady has more appearances in the Super Bowl than every NFL team, except for the New England Patriots.

I am not a fan of Tom Brady and I will be thankful when he retires. Yes, he is a lock for the Hall of Fame on the first day of the ballot. If some jackwad doesn't vote for him, then that player or person is just a jackwad.

Do coaches count toward the super bowl streak? Or did all become titan fans
