We are a little more than 40 days away from the Super Bowl, and to no one’s surprise, the New England Patriots are very much in the conversation to capture another NFL championship.
Former Super Bowl champs Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers have their teams (the New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers, respectively) in the thick of it as well.
I would like to see quarterbacks who have never been to the championship game get to the 2020 contest in Miami.
Lamar Jackson in Baltimore has an incredible touchdown-to-interception ratio of 33-6 on the go this season. The Ravens star has been both smart with the football and dynamic to watch in leading Baltimore to a 12-2 record.
In the NFC, 28-year-old Jimmy Garoppolo has patiently waited for his turn to put what he learned from his time in New England to use. In his third season in San Francisco, he has done that — and then some — as the Niners sit at 11-3.
A Jackson/Garoppolo showdown in Florida on Feb. 2 could be spectacular.
