Fox Sports @henrycmckenna predicts the Broncos will beat the #49ers 29-28 in Super Bowl LXI. 🤯 So apparently Purdy outduels the NFC, makes the Super Bowl… just to lose on a 2-point conversion to Bo Nix? 😭 Writing: “What a strange matchup of quarterbacks: Nix and Brock Purdy. What a logical matchup of coaches: Sean Payton and Kyle Shanahan. What an excellent matchup of defenses. It feels like Payton and Nix are only coming to understand each other better. It feels like Broncos OC Davis Webb will be the hot head coaching candidate next offseason. And it feels like former Dolphins receiver Jaylen Waddle is the perfect addition to the Denver offense. (Don’t sleep on rookie tight end Justin Joly either!) That offensive unit proves to be too much against the 49ers, whose age might start to show at this point in the postseason. Running back Christian McCaffrey, tight end George Kittle and receiver Mike Evans might all be among the best at their positions, but they have plenty of wear and tear. That’s how the Broncos find their advantage, with their young and fast defense taking care of Purdy & Co. Payton gets his second Super Bowl victory. And he does it by making Nix look a little bit like Saints legend Drew Brees, including on the game-winning drive when the Broncos convert a two-pointer, rather than settling for a tie (and, likely, overtime).” Niner fans… thoughts? 👀 #FTTB

unpopular opinion: Kyrie Irving is actually a great #1 option but never had the roster construction around him to fully maximize it
