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.
