The stage is set for Super Bowl LX, as the New England Patriots will take on the Seattle Seahawks. Sunday’s pair of Conference Championship games set up a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX, won by the Patriots when Malcolm Butler intercepted Russell Wilson on the goal line in the closing seconds of the game.
In addition, the Conference Championship games solidified two more picks in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
With their loss to the Seahawks, the Rams are now locked into pick No. 29 at the end of the first round. However, this is the Rams’ second pick in the round, as they own the rights to the Atlanta Falcons’ first-round pick due to a trade made during last year’s NFL Draft.
As for the Denver Broncos, after losing to the Patriots, they are slotted into pick No. 30.
Super Bowl LX will determine the final two spots in the first round, with the loser picking at No. 31 and the winner owning the final pick of the first round.
Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza is largely expected to be the first player selected.
