Average age: 25.3 years old

Now let’s do the NFC: Brock Purdy (23), Jalen Hartz (24), Daniel Jones (25), Dak Prescott (29), Kirk Cousins ​​(34), Tom Brady (45)

Average age: 30.0

Yes, Brady heavily skews the NFC into something much older, but even then, the age gap only widens after Sunday’s game. In the AFC, it’s Kenny Pickett for the Steelers, Mac Jones for the Patriots and Tua Tagovailoa for the Dolphins (we know he’s out on Sunday, but he’s an undeniable starter). All three quarterbacks he is 24 years old.

In the NFC, the Lions with Jared Goff (28), the Seahawks with Jenno Smith (32) and the Packers with Aaron Rodgers (39).

The closest gap between meetings is 4.6 years. The furthest is over 6 years!

So, with the road to the Super Bowl beginning next week, cherish the playoff races in both conferences for a variety of reasons. should provide a fair match. In NFC, there are veterans looking to add to or enhance their legacy before young signal callers step into the spotlight. Either way, expect a play on your way to Super Bowl LVII.
