NFL Already Promoting Vikings-Patriots Super Bowl

NFL Already Promoting Vikings-Patriots Super Bowl

Even though the AFC and NFC Championship games have yet to be played, the NFL seems to have decided that the New England Patriots and the Minnesota Vikings will be appearing in Super Bowl LII.

On Tuesday, the official NFL Facebook page posted an advertisement for a free trip to Super Bowl LII that featured the Patriots and the Vikings. While this alone would not have raised too many eyebrows, it was the caption that may have struck a nerve with Eagles and Jaguars fans:

"When you donate to United Way, you could score 2 club-level seats to watch the PATRIOTS vs. the VIKINGS battle it out for the coveted Super Bowl title!"

The post was deleted on Friday, but had already caused an uproar with conspiracy theorists. As if the advertisement was not enough, Google has also added fuel to the fire with preemptive search results.

When users would type in “New England Patriots Super Bowl appearances” and similar searches for the Vikings, the Super Bowl LII graphic was listed along with their other appearances. Again, this would have been less of a big deal if the graphic showed up for all remaining teams, but there was no mention of Super Bowl LII when Googling the Eagles or Jaguars. 12UP shared a snippet of the search on Twitter.

While it was most likely some sort of clerical error, there is no doubt that fans of the Jaguars and Eagles will be eying the refs more than usual during Sunday’s Conference Championship games.

In reality, these coincidences were likely just that – coincidences. Even if the NFL and Google truly did think that the Patriots and Vikings have some sort of edge over the Jags and the Eagles (which again, unlikely), apparently so do millions of NFL fans.
