Story of two Super Bowl moms

For seven years, the mothers of two NFL players have worked side by side in the same office in Texas. One has a son who's a Packer, the other's son is a Steeler. Long before Dimitri Nance was a hulking NFL running back he was a Pee Wee Football player in Euless, Tx. Over the years his mother, Joyce, watched him grow and so did all her coworkers at HCA Healthcare in Bedford, Tx.

Then one day Joyce met her coworker, Diane Browning, who also had a son, Dorian Brooks, headed to the NFL. Dimitri signed with the Packers and Dorian joined the practice squad for the Steelers. And now both women are wondering what the odds are that both teams are head to the Super Bowl the year it's in North Texas.

What was once wishful thinking has become reality as the Steelers and Packers won their way into the big game. Now the only problem is deciding who they'll be cheering for Super Bowl Sunday. In all their years playing football Dorian and Dimitri have never met. Their moms hope to change that on Super Bowl Sunday.
