When Patriots cornerback Devin McCourty takes the field on Sunday, his twin brother Jason, a cornerback for the Titans, will be watching, just not from a seat in University of Phoenix Stadium.

The twin brothers try to spend as much time with each other as possible, but the two have developed a nasty little trend when it comes to watching each other's football games.

"Ah man, we're 0-5 when attending each others game," Jason said to ESPN anchor Hannah Storm on the Sunday morning edition of SportsCenter. "I've been to three of his games, including the last Super Bowl he played in and the AFC playoff game against the Jets (in 2010), so I'm going to stay away from this one."

Devin will have his hands full with the Seahawks underrated wide receiver core of  Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse while Jason will have his hands full of some bar food in downtown Glendale, Ari. "I'll probably find a place to eat and watch the game with my wife downtown, but I am staying away from the stadium."

It's a wise choice by Jason. Not just because he's never seen his brother win in person, but because ticket prices are nearing five figures.
