Nick Saban’s daughter, Kristen Saban, quietly sparked a wave of NFL fan chatter again this week after sharing a Patriots-themed Instagram story from her San Francisco hotel window — complete with a “GO PATS!” graphic just days ahead of Super Bowl LX between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks.
While the Saban name is synonymous with Alabama football, Kristin’s story quickly took on a life of its own among Patriots supporters online. Kristin, who has already confirmed her presence at the Super Bowl game, posted an image of a downtown San Francisco skyline, clearly showing her support for New England, which was interpreted by many as a fun nod to her family’s football roots and a playful pick in the big game. Social accounts lit up with Pats fans cheering the gesture, calling it an unexpected seal of approval from one of college football’s most respected families.
For Patriots fans, who’ve waited nearly a decade since their last Super Bowl appearance, the story felt like destiny aligning. Others joked that if even a former Crimson Tide insider is backing the Patriots, maybe this is the year the team brings home its seventh Lombardi Trophy.
Whether intentional or just lighthearted support, Kristen’s post added extra buzz to what’s already a hype-filled Super Bowl week — and Patriots fans are loving it.
