- Preseason NFL graphic sparks conspiracy theories as Patriots and Seahawks advance to Super Bowl
The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks secured their spots in Super Bowl LX after winning their Conference Championship Games on Sunday, but a preseason promotional graphic has reignited some silly social allegations that the NFL's biggest game is predetermined.
The matchup, set for Santa Clara, California, marks a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX, when the Patriots claimed victory in dramatic fashion. However, fans now point to a preseason "road to the Super Bowl" graphic created by the NFL's social media team that appears to have predicted this exact outcome.

The promotional image featured several star players, including Saquon Barkley , Patrick Mahomes , Brock Purdy , and Joe Burrow prominently displayed near the center. While those players represented teams expected to contend for championships, only the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers from that group advanced to the playoffs.

What caught fans' attention was the graphic's front row , where Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold and Patriots quarterback Drake Maye stood next to each other, both looking up at the Super Bowl LX trophy . With both teams now headed to the championship game, conspiracy theorists have seized on the image as evidence the league scripted the season.
