“Buffalo vs. Detroit would be ideal for the league,” Pro Football Hall of Fame voter and veteran NFL writer John McClain told talkSPORT.
“Fans nationwide could rally behind such a Super Bowl matchup in New Orleans.”
This Sunday, the Bills face the Lions at Ford Field in Detroit.
In a symbolic preview of a potential Super Bowl LIX clash, the cheapest ticket for the Week 15 game was $340 heading into the weekend.
Bills QB Josh Allen and Lions QB Jared Goff are both strong MVP contenders for the 2024 season.
With a combined record of 22-4, these Super Bowl hopefuls have passionate, long-suffering fanbases who can dare to dream of taking over the Superdome on February 9, just as the holiday season nears.
“This is Josh Allen’s chance to beat Patrick Mahomes (and the Chiefs) at home in the playoffs and lead the Bills to a Super Bowl against Detroit,” McClain stated.
Such a matchup would bring historic success to one franchise after decades of waiting.
The other, however, would endure yet another heartbreaking playoff defeat.
“I covered their four straight Super Bowl losses,” McClain said, speaking of the Bills.
