The Manning Brothers, Peyton and Eli, are two of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. Both brothers experienced Super Bowl success and earned Pro Bowl nods. But did they face off against each other in the Super Bowl?

The answer is no. The Manning Brothers never played against each other in the Super Bowl. While each of them hoisted the Lombardi Trophy twice, they never had to do it at the other's expense.

Who was the more talented of the Manning brothers?

Based on the numbers, Peyton was the better quarterback. He is seen by many as one of the greatest quarterbacks to play in the AFC and has accolades to match. His treasure chest includes five MVP awards, 14 Pro Bowl selections, and a top-five ranking in pass attempts, completions, passing yards, and passing touchdowns.

Eli is a four-time Pro Bowler and ranks in the top seven in career pass attempts, completions, passing yards, and passing touchdowns. Both QBs have won the Super Bowl twice. One distinction Eli has over his brother is career earnings. He earned more than $252 million, while Peyton earned around $248.7 million.

Have any brothers ever competed against each other in the Super Bowl?

While the Manning Brothers never faced each other in the Super Bowl, another set of brothers is about to make history. The Kelce Brothers will take to the gridiron against each other in the 2023 NFL Super Bowl, with the Philadelphia Eagles playing against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Travis Kelce, an All-Pro tight end, will be lining up against his older brother and fellow All-Pro selection, Jason Kelce. Travis plays for the Kansas City Chiefs and catches passes from his quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Jason plays for the Philadelphia Eagles and protects his quarterback Jalen Hurts.

The 2023 Super Bowl will be historic for both the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, as well as for the Kelce family. Ed and Donna Kelce will undoubtedly be proud of their sons as they make Super Bowl history.
