Super Bowl LII contention is heating up as we’re nearly 48 hours away from the AFC and NFC championships.
And as the battle of the cities rage, fans are starting to show their never-ending support for their teams.
Philly was the first city to throw its support behind the Birds in June – before a 13-3 record was even a concept.

I think we can all agree that Philly is the most loyal fanbase in the NFL.
But others are pretty devoted too. This Jags fan waited until his team made the AFC playoffs to get inked.

It’s unclear what body part that tattoo is on, and whether it reads “Jacksonville” or “Sacksonville,” but either way it’s pretty bold.
Patriots and Vikings fans seem a little less confident about the Super Bowl because nobody in either fanbase has gotten prematurely inked yet. I can’t wait to wake up on February 5th and write a story about how dumb that Jacksonville fan is going to feel after the Eagles win Super Bowl LII.
