How many brothers have played against each other in the NFL?

Answer 1

No brothers have ever faced each other in the Super Bowl. There have been 18 sets of brothers to play in the Super Bowl, one set having three brothers, but none have ever faced each other. Only 2 sets have played in the same Super Bowl but were on the same team. The Blackwood's with the Dolphins in 83 and 85, and the Griffin's with the Bengals in 82. Keith and Jim Fahnhorst were both on the 49ers in Super Bowl 85 but Jim was inactive for the game.

Answer 2

The Manning brothers will become the 4th set of brothers to play in the Super Bowl for different teams in consecutive years. Willie Richardson played for the

Colts in the 1969 Super Bowl while his brother Gloster played for the Chiefs in the 1970 Super Bowl. Bubba Smith played for the Colts in the 1971 game while his brother Tody played for the Cowboys in the 1972 game. Matt Bahr played for the Steelers in the 1980 game while his brother Chris played for the Raiders in the 1981 game.
