Super Bowl LX week is here, and there are two huge football games this weekend in the Bay Area.
On Sunday, Sam Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and the NFC champion Seattle Seahawks take on Drake Maye, Christian Gonzalez, and the AFC champion New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium.
The day prior, though, there will also be a football spectacle to behold, with maybe a few more dropped passes and a lot more wondering where to run on a route.
The NFL has transformed the final week of the season into seven days of wall-to-wall action, and Saturday will be host to the official Super Bowl LX Flag Football Game.
22 athletes, social media influencers, and entertainment stars will come together to see who will have bragging rights heading into Sunday’s climactic showdown between the league’s two top teams.
On one side, comedian and habitual big-sporting-event-attendee Drew Desbordes, better known as Druski, will be captaining a team. He will have former Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Legend Michael Vick as his designated quarterback for the entire game.
His opponent, Colombian musical artist J Balvin, will call on the mad hatter and former NFL MVP, Cam Newton, to play under center for his flag football team.
The event will be held on Saturday at the Flag Fieldhouse at Moscone Center South in San Francisco, where many of the other activations will take place throughout the week.
Here are the complete rosters for both teams.
