In the NFC, the Washington Commanders stunned the No. 1 seeded Detroit Lions 45-31 and the Philadelphia Eagles edged past the Los Angeles Rams, 28-22.
The scores mean the reigning Super Bowl champion Chiefs will take on the Bills in next weekend's AFC Championship game while the Eagles will host the Commanders in the NFC championship.
The winners of both games will advance to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans next month, and fans think they already know who will feature in this year's big game.
The reason? The Super Bowl logo conspiracy theory.
There's been a prevalent conspiracy in recent years pertaining to the annually-evolving Super Bowl logo -- chiefly, that the two colors on the Super Bowl logo every season represent the teams that end up in the Super Bowl.
First it was Rams-Bengals in Super Bowl LVI (orange and yellow), then it was Eagles-Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII (green and red).
This year, the Super Bowl logo is red and green, which has led some to speculate that the Chiefs and Eagles are destined to meet in Super Bowl 59 in a rematch of Super Bowl LVII, won by the Chiefs.
"Chiefs vs Eagles," please one fan posted on X.

"Nooooooo I will emotionally die if the Eagles go to SB.. I’m already sick," added another.

The Super Bowl logo colors has given rise to a conspiracy in recent years that was debunked in 2024

"Only the Eagles have green so that leaves KC for the red being their prime color," a fourth added.
However, others pointed out a fundamental flaw in the conspiracy -- that last year's showpiece didn't follow the trend, effectively rendering the theory incorrect.
Super Bowl LVIII last year had a red and purple color scheme, leading many to believe the Baltimore Ravens were destined to meet the San Francisco 49ers in 2024's big game.
However, that theory was eventually debunked when the Chiefs beat the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game, resulting in an all-red affair between the Chiefs and 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII, which Kansas City won.
Others pointed out that the lime green color used in this year's Super Bowl logo is hardly the same green the Eagles rock.
Philly famously wear a midnight green hue, so many argued the logo theory was a reach at best.
"Pretty sure this [theory] got debunked last year, one fan wrote.
The NFL itself has been keen to rubbish the Super Bowl log theory.
In fact, this year's SB logo was actively designed to avoid using colors that could be tied to specific teams.
The colors of the Super Bowl LIX logo are red, green, and gold, with a nod to Mardi Gras and the ironwork balconies of New Orleans, where the game will be hosted.
