"In all professional sports, there is no shortage of superstitions or conspiracy theories surrounding the league and what they might want the current season to become, including the NFL. So it's unsurprising that there are already old posts being reexamined ahead of Super Bowl LX, and that the NFL might have tipped its cap to this year's participants back in September."
"It's a pretty wild theory, considering both the Patriots and the Seahawks did not make the playoffs last year and have not sniffed a Super Bowl in quite some time, Seattle being removed from a Lombardi much longer, though. However, one tweet from the official NFL account has been making waves again after the conclusion of the NFC Championship for one reason: an image that seems to have predicted the starting quarterbacks for this year's Super Bowl."
An NFL preseason image posted in September shows players walking forward, with Sam Darnold and Drake Maye at the front, aligning with the quarterbacks set to start Super Bowl LX. The image resurfaced after the NFC Championship and has generated conspiracy theories given the unlikelihood of both teams reaching the Super Bowl. The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks missed the playoffs the previous year and faced strong divisional rivals, yet both won their divisions and advanced to the league title game. The image remains on the NFL's Twitter/X account, prompting widespread reexamination and online incredulity. The matchup echoes a Super Bowl rematch from eleven years earlier.
