This Sunday, when the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks face off in a divisional meeting, the game will have a slightly more personal element on the line for both teams’ young quarterbacks.

In a video advertising Madden 25, quarterbacks Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson, of the 49ers and Seahawks respectively, decided to raise the stakes. The losing quarterback of the actual game played this Sunday will have to shave off an eyebrow.

Kaepernick and Wilson, two of the most promising quarterbacks on two of the best teams in the NFL, play in Seattle at 5:30PST this Sunday. The winner will be in a good position in the NFC West, while the loser will have a quarterback with an asymmetrical face.

Check back with us on Saturday to see who Madden 25 thinks is going to bust out the razor. In week 1, the game went a respectable 11 and 5.

Super Bowl LVII is over and it was one for the history books. An offensive shoot-out between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs made for a dramatic football game that culminated in a narrow victory for the Chiefs -- though one that was a source of controversy thanks to a hotly debated holding call. Considering that the game's pre-show panelists almost unanimously picked the Eagles to win, it's safe to say the result was a little unpredictable.

And no one predicted it worse than Madden NFL 23.
