Patrick Mahomes vs Tom Brady
The match up between the 2 quarterbacks is set to be the one to dominate headlines in the days to come. The GOAT Tom Brady versus the man with the most realistic chance of usurping his throne in the years to come, Patrick Mahomes.
The 2 quarterbacks have had dominant runs through the Playoffs. Their regular-season records are not too contrasting either. Mahomes had 38 touchdowns, while Brady ended up with 40.

The key differentiator between the 2 is the number of interceptions they recorded. While Mahomes threw only 5, Brady ended up with 12. Thus the quarterback with the lesser turnovers for the night might be the one who ends up with the Lombardi Trophy.
Travis Kelce vs Rob Gronkowski
Travis Kelce and Rob Gronkowski are 2 revolutionary tight ends. A departure from the notion that tight end is primarily being blockers, the 2 are potent weapons on offense.
Kelce has had a record-breaking 2020 season. With 1,416 receiving yards, the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end broke the all-time record for receiving yards by a player of his position through the course of a regular season.

Gronkowski might not have had a similar output this season, but he remains one of the greatest TE’s to have played in the league.
Mike Evans vs Tyreek Hill
Two of the best in the business, Mike Evans and Tyreek Hill are the most proficient wide receivers in the league. Majorly underrated, the 2 have consistently delivered for their teams when needed.
Evans became the first wide receiver in history to record 7 consecutive seasons with 1,000+ receiving yards. Going one better than the legendary Randy Moss.
Hill, on the other hand, has been as dominant as ever. With 15 touchdowns, the ‘Cheetah’, as he is referred to, has been a key target for Patrick Mahomes this season.
