Washington 49ers Josh Johnson NFL Samaje Perine Trent Williams Kansas City Chiefs San Francisco 49ers Washington Commanders

On Sunday night, NFL fans will know which two teams will meet in Super Bowl LVII from State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Az., in two weeks.

In Sunday’s NFC championship, the Philadelphia Eagles host the San Francisco 49ers in the early game. On Sunday evening, the Kansas City Chiefs will face the Cincinnati Bengals in a rematch from last season’s AFC championship.

While the Washington Commanders were eliminated from playoff contention in Week 17, three former players will suit up in Sunday’s championship games with an opportunity to play in Super Bowl LVII, including one franchise legend.

The 49ers lead the way with two former Washington players on the active roster.

Other former Washington players are on the practice squads of the four NFL finalists, including center Keith Ismael with the 49ers, but we name the three on the remaining 53-man rosters in Sunday’s championship games.
