Just What If...Two Brother Coaches Meet or Randy Moss Face Old Team, Pats etc.

What if the New England Patriots fall to the Baltimore Ravens? If San Francisco defeats the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship game, the Super Bowl will be a battle of two coach brothers, Jim Harbaugh (SF) and John Harbaugh (BAL). Put the two together, ‘Jim/John.’ Will it be as good as ‘Jimmy Johns’ sandwiches?

The NFL hasn’t seen a Super Bowl brother duel in quarterbacks, Eli Manning (NYG), and Peyton Manning (DEN). Not even when Peyton was a Colt, we did not see a Colts/Giants Super Bowl. However, these two brothers did win Super Bowl titles a season apart. Peyton and the Colts defeated the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI, and Eli followed with his title versus New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.

If it pans out that Ravens and 49ers meet in the Super Bowl, this will be the first time two brother coaches meet for the title. Both will want to win the game, but regardless who wins, both will be winners behind the scenes because one will be happy to celebrate for the other. They will share the success.

How about . . .

If the Patriots defeat the Ravens in the AFC Championship game, and the 49ers advance to the Super Bowl, 49ers wide receiver Randy Moss will meet his old teammate ‘Tommy,’ as he referred to Brady during his tenure in New England. It was an opportunity for Moss to capture his first NFL championship ring when the Patriots fell to the Giants after a perfect season. Even after Randy Moss caught the touchdown pass that seemingly sealed the deal for New England and put his team ahead 14-10. Perhaps the most upsetting game in football history, Moss and the ‘Bradyans’ lost their chance after the Giants miracle comeback.

So, after all of that, what if Randy Moss and the 49ers meet the Patriots for the title? Randy Moss can win with his new team after returning from retirement. How interesting it will be for Moss to defeat the team (New England Patriots) where his chances were highly favored to win!

The AFC/NFC title games will be engaging and maybe surprising! Stay tuned for my AFC/NFC picks on this weekend’s games. Follow @nategrayzone
