Many NFL fans thought the outcome of the league’s conference championship weekend was suspicious. The San Francisco 49ers came back from a 17-point halftime deficit to defeat the Detroit Lions at Levi’s Stadium. The Kansas City Chiefs defense stifled likely NFL MVP Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens offense.
The Kansas City Chiefs/San Francisco 49ers game is a recent rematch
The Chiefs and 49ers will have a rematch of Super Bowl 54 when the Chiefs had their own second-half comeback to knock off the 49ers. That 49ers team was slightly different, as Jimmy Garoppolo was under center. Brock Purdy will be the starting quarterback for the 49ers in this Super Bowl.
NFL Fans claim the Super Bowl matchup was scripted
Many fans thought the Ravens’ and Lions’ losses this weekend were engineers by the NFL. Coming into the playoffs, there was a conspiracy the Super Bowl logo hinted at a Chiefs/Ravens title match. That idea proved false this weekend.
However, many fans feel like the league wanted higher ratings by having the 49ers and Chiefs in. The Chiefs have drawn extra interest this season because musical artist Taylor Swift is dating Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce.
Here are the best takes of NFL fans calling the Super Bowl matchup scripted.

Totally scripted. Now they can have their RED satanic Super Bowl and everyone needs to take a Pfizer shot.

The Super Bowl was Scripted as soon as those 2 were a couple.

It was all scripted to get Taylor to Las Vegas. Many people have made lots of money off this Super Bowl will be her last game.

The 49ers may as well not even show up to this scripted Super Bowl.

NFL giving Taylor as much air time as possible. Definitely scripted for them to go to the Super Bowl so they can give her more screen time there too

NFL is scripted. Super Bowl nobody wanted

He said, "I'm going to boost ratings by getting Swifty's to watch the Super Bowl. Ad prices are going to explode." The NFL is the WWE, scripted.
