Every generation tends to think, at some point at least, that the end of the world is near. Well, my friend, the time is here. It’s time for us to believe, and perhaps accept, the fact that the end of the world is coming. Why, you ask? Because there’s a Super Bowl scenario brewing that truly nobody could have ever expected. If this happens, we’re doomed. But, hey, it will be worth it. So, let’s party like it’s the end of the world and get into this Super Bowl scenario.

Super Bowl LVIII is approaching. I think the Baltimore Ravens will be difficult to beat. But, there’s a team out there that’s already beaten the Ravens, and they could do it again.

I’m talking about the Cleveland Browns. The Browns took down the Ravens on Nov. 12. Right now, as I’m writing this article, the Browns are 11-5. That’s darn good. In comparison, the Ravens are 13-3. Very close. The Cleveland Browns have never played in a Super Bowl. Still, they’ve won eight championships: four in the AAFC and four in the NFL. But, the tide is turning. Both for the Browns and another team that’s never been to the Big Game.

That other team, of course, is the Detroit Lions. Everyone is talking about the Lions this year. As of this article’s publication date, the Lions are 11-5. (You could call them 12-4, if you think the Cowboys 2-point conversation call was bunk.) To get to the Super Bowl, the Lions will likely have to get past either the 49ers, Eagles or Cowboys. All three of those teams have proven they’re beatable this season. I think the 49ers would be the most difficult out of that bunch, but not impossible.

So, here we are. It’s a moment when we could actually see a Browns vs. Lions Super Bowl. Pinch yourself. It’s true. I’m all for it. Hey, we’ve been living in an era of “unprecedent” events, so why not add one more? Go Lions and Browns. Let me know what you think on Facebook here or elsewhere here. Find the Week 18 games here.

5 Best Personalities in the NFL Right Now

  • Patrick Mahomes

    Patrick Mahomes, of course, is the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs. He’s considered the best quarterback of his era and possibly the next Tom Brady. But, aside from his skills, he also has a big personality. He has more than 6 million Instagram followers, and he posts a bunch of stuff up there, from football material to family photos.

  • Travis Kelce

    Travis Kelce, the celebrated tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is pretty much the most famous guy in football this season. Yes, it’s because of his relationship with Taylor Swift. I hate to make that a reason to have him named one of the best personalities in the NFL, but heck, even without the Taylor factor, Kelce has a huge personality that people love.

  • Dan Campbell

    All eyes are on Dan Campbell this season, as the Lions all pulling off some incredible things. That’s not common for the Detroit Lions, either. But, Campbell has some of the wackiest ideas and quotes, and that makes him loveable. Remember that time he wanted a pet Lion at practices? I love this dude.

  • Bill Belichick

    Bill Belichick needs no introduction, but we’ll introduce him anyway. He’s the head coach and general manager of the New England Patriots. He’s had some rough years as of late, but nothing can take away his glimmering record. Belichick just tells it like it is. He’s incredible with strategies, and that really stands out with his coaching.

  • Jalen Hurts

    Jalen Hurts, the star quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, is something of a hero on the field. But, off the field, he’s known for his deep, insightful comments that show he has wisdom beyond his years. He’s a major contender and personality.
