Less than a week to go, Super Bowl 55 might possibly be the biggest game across all sports in 2021.

I started watching about 3 years ago and got pulled in by the game. It is so complex and that is why it is interesting to watch and it still doesn’t cease to amaze why a 43 Year-old player going to this 10th Super Bowl (All-time record) and why a young player who hasn’t lost a game by double digits since college keeps tearing his opponents apart. Let me explain you that why people are having a hard time picking out who is David and who is Goliath in possibly the biggest Super Bowl game in a decade.

Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. vs Patrick Lavon Mahomes II (so Patrick vs Patrick basically)

1200 × 675

Both Quarterbacks have won the League MVP, Super Bowl MVP, had a 5000 Yards season, and a 50 Touchdown season (Only Manning and Mahomes did both in the same season). 18 years of difference between the two, Brady looking to further cement his legacy by winning his 7th ring (YES, SEVENTH), meanwhile Mahomes is looking to dethrone the king and remain as the reigning Super Bowl MVP.

Both players are on a different level come playoff time. Tom Brady leads almost all playoff stats, yards, wins, game-winning drives, TDs, you name it. Mahomes being the only QB to have 3 double…
