Jaguars vs. Vikings: The Super Bowl We Don't Want but Probably Deserve
That's been the thought by almost all of the media outlets. Not based on the quality of the game but on the potential ratings. They know the market sizes and they will take a huge hit if the Pats aren't in it regardless if it's against Philly or MN. And if Philly isn't in it as well that leaves two small market teams in terms of National coverage. Neither team has a face of the franchise that someone outside of a fan of the team would really know or care about. The NFL wanted a Brady and Brees SB but they will have to deal with something else now.
