New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner tuned into the NFC Championship on Monday night and for a split second, he thought he saw his quarterback, Zach Wilson, in the stands.
Instead, it was San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy's younger brother, Chubba.
"I thought that was Zach on the left," Gardner wrote on "X" with a of the Purdy family cheering on the 49ers.
It's an easy mistake considering the two have the same dirty blonde hairstyle and similar facial features.
One might even say Chubba looks more like Zach than he does his own brother.
There's also reason to believe Gardner was making a joke about Wilson and his rumored interest in "Milfs."
Chubba Also Plays Quarterback
Chubba, 22, is also a quarterback and recently committed to Nevada after playing two seasons at Nebraska.
Prior to joining the Cornhuskers, Chubba spent two years with the Florida State Seminoles.
The four-star prospect out of high school will have two seasons of eligibility with the Wolf Pack.
As a college quarterback so far, Purdy has completed 85 of 162 (52.5 percent) passes for 846 yards with six touchdowns and seven interceptions.
Chubba will head to Las Vegas with the rest of his family to watch Brock and the Niners play the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII on Feb. 11.
