The road to the Super Bowl during a pandemic has arrived and what a journey it has been. Today is Championship Sunday, the day Super Bowl LV participants will be determined.
In the NFC (3:05 PM ET, FOX/FOX Deportes), the TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (13-5) take on the GREEN BAY PACKERS (14-3) while the BUFFALO BILLS (15-3) travel to Arrowhead Stadium to face the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (15-2) in the AFC (6:40 PM ET, CBS/CBS All Access/ESPN Deportes).
Will Kansas City have the opportunity to defend their Super Bowl Champion title or will another team sneak in and surprise us all? Patrick Mahomes overcame the odds of his team being taken out of Champion Sunday when backup quarterback Chad Henne stepped in and showed out with miraculous courage for the divisional round win.
Tom Brady is doing goat things with a new team as he looks forward to adding more Super Bowl rings to his already crowded hands. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is proud to display the fact that Buffalo is who we think they are and more. And Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers is always on-time with his powerful hands as he uses his professional skills to put Green Bay on the Super Bowl map once again.
Overall, win or lose, everyone deserves a round of applause for being alive and making it to this point. Today’s games will most certainly be entertaining and fun to watch.
