Judging from the amount of profile pictures, Twitter handles and shared images, most of, if not all of Steelers Nation will be rooting for the Atlanta Falcons to defeat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI.

Little did you know, there are a number of similarities between your “temporary” favorite team (Atlanta) and your steady, go-to, passion (the Steelers!).

Here are just a few of the oddities we could dig up for why you’ll feel right at home booing the Tom Brady and company this Sunday.

Coach

Both, Falcons head coach Dan Quinn and Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, share a number of uncanny similarities.

Quinn started coaching at William and Mary college in 1994, where Tomlin played as a receiver and tight end. The ties virtually end there, but other characteristics between the two are similar.

Quinn was a defensive coordinator (Seattle) in the NFL for two seasons before becoming a head coach. Tomlin was a defensive coordinator in Minnesota for a single season, before taking over the top job in Pittsburgh.

Both coaches got their respective teams to a Super Bowl in their second year on the job, and both have Super Bowl rings as assistant coaches (Quinn with the Seahawks and Tomlin with the Buccaneers).

Offense

While Matt Ryan‘s numbers are lower due to entering the league four years after Ben Roethlisberger, the pair of quarterbacks share similar statistics. Each has a career QB rating in the mid-90’s, while both signal callers have thrown for over 35,000 yards and 240 plus touchdowns.

At running back, Devonta Freeman has had over 1,500 all-purpose yards and double-digit touchdowns in each of his last two seasons. Le’Veon Bell has had a similar pace in 2014 and 2016 (he was injured and did not play the entire 2015 season) scoring his additional touchdowns in the postseason.

Julio Jones and Antonio Brown are arguably two of the game’s greats at wide receiver, with each holding several key statistical records with some of the best individual game, and individual seasons on record.

At tight end, Austin Hooper is a rookie third round pick who was thrust into the starting role when veteran Falcon Jacob Tamme was injured; not much unlike second-year Steeler Jesse James, who had to fill in when Ladarius Green wasn’t ready to go for games this season.

The entire offense flows through Pro Bowl centers: Alex Mack of the Falcons and Maurkice Pouncey of the Steelers. In fact, all four positions of QB, RB, WR and C were named to the Pro Bowl for both teams.

Defense

Linebacker Vic Beasley was selected 8th overall in the 2015 NFL Draft, while the Steelers Bud Dupree was taken 22nd. Both first rounders have been sack monsters this season, with totaling 4.5 sacks in the month of December, while Beasley had 5 sacks in the same month, on way to a 15.5 sack season. (Note: Dupree only appeared in 7 games, with 4 starts, after starting the 2016 season on IR.)

Each defensive squad is also anchored by not only a second-year stud at linebacker, but a proven veteran. The Steelers James Harrison is the franchise’s all-time sacks leader at 38 years of age, while 36-year-old Dwight Freeney found a fresh start in Atlanta this season. Freeney had 3 sacks while Harrison had 5.

Both are former AFC Defensive Players of the Year, and have at least one prior Super Bowl victory on their resume.

While Sean Davis was a second round rookie starter in the Steelers secondary, the Falcons also upgraded their safety position by using a first round pick to take Florida’s Keanu Neal in this year’s draft. Neal would start all 14 games in the regular season, while Davis would start in 8 games, taking over the safety spot midseason,

Conclusion

The similarities end with the Steelers bowing out of their conference championship game, and leaving most fans wanting to see New England go down. With man likenesses, it will be interesting to see if the Falcons can overcome their underdog label, and keep Bill Belichick and Tom Brady from breaking Chuck Noll and Terry Bradshaw‘s four Super Bowl wins record.
