The NFC Championship Game will feature quarterbacks with Bay Area ties. Tom Brady of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers grew up in San Mateo, while Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers grew up in Chico. The Packers will host the Buccaneers at Lambeau Field.
The NFC isn't the only conference with a California quarterback slinging passes in its conference championship game. Josh Allen grew up in Firebaugh. His Buffalo Bills will face the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
Brady, Rodgers, and Allen each grew up as a fan of the San Francisco 49ers. Green Bay and Kansas City are each 3.5-point favorites in their respective matchups.
