The Kansas City Chiefs have gotten used to winning Super Bowls in the modern NFL and heading into 2024, Patrick Mahomes and company are aiming for their third-straight Lombardi Trophy. While the Chiefs have been on an unstoppable run reaching four Super Bowls since 2019 and coming away with three trophies in the last five seasons, there was a long drought where the NFL franchise didn’t come close to winning the big game. In 1993 they lost the AFC Championship game to the Buffalo Bills, but before then, the Kansas City Chiefs hadn’t won a Super Bowl since 1969, the…

The San Francisco 49ers brass fully understands 2024 may be the best chance to win a Super Bowl before next season comes when they have to pay Brock Purdy a major contract which will limit the amount of money that can be spent on talent around him. Both of the 49ers starting wideouts have uncertain futures with the team. Deebo Samuel is nearing the end of a recent extension while Brandon Aiyuk – -who is coming off his best NFL season where he earned All-Pro honors in 2023 — has yet to suit up for training camp and trade rumors have…
The Cincinnati Bengals lost a key defensive player for the season on Monday.
The Dallas Cowboys have been known as “America’s Team” for several decades now and it’s impossible to go to any state in the country without running into their fans. According to Forbes, the NFL remains the most valuable sports league in the world thanks to guaranteed television deals that could be worth more than $126 billion by 2033. Professional football had 30 teams among the top 50 in 2023, the same number as the previous year. The Cowboys are still the most expensive sports franchise in the entire world, with a value of $9 Billion which has been quite the…
The Cleveland Browns community is mourning the loss of one of their former players on Saturday. According to the Akron Beacon Journal, former Browns running back Ben Gay was pronounced dead after fatal car accident that occurred on July 29, with an obituary being published on Saturday. “Benjamin passed into the care of our Lord,” the obituary released by Rowanoak Mortuary & Crematory began. “Benjamin was a stalwart Christian and a proud attendee to Platte Valley Baptist Church. ‘He loved to spend time with his family, work on cars, and ensured that the yards of his family members were well…
The New York Giants have had some incredible playmakers in the team’s history. When it comes to running backs, the Giants have been fortunate to have some of the NFL’s top ball carriers over the last few decades. The Giants selected UVA running back Tiki Barber in the second round of the 1996 NFL Draft, and the shifty ball-carrier spent his entire 10-year NFL career in the Big Apple, setting plenty of records along the way. Barber retired from the NFL at the end of the 2006 NFL postseason as the New York Giants’ all-time rushing and reception leader. He…
The New York Jets believe they have a roster ready to compete for a Super Bowl in 2024 which will mean getting past the juggernaut of the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs as well as top contenders in the conference like the Ravens, Bengals, Bills and ascending Texans. The AFC is loaded — but if history is any indicator of the future —any AFC squad looking to steal the crown will have to go through Kansas City. With a little over a month before the start of the regular season, everything is speculation. New teams emerge as contenders each season,…
The Dallas Cowboys always have some of the most fascinating storylines in the NFL, but heading into 2024, it’s almost impossible to predict what Jerry Jones and company have planned. If you listen to Jones, he’s sticking by his statement that Dallas is going “all in” for 2024 with the goal to finally get over the playoff hump and secure another Lombardi Trophy. That logic made sense following the Cowboys’ early exit from the playoffs. They had a team loaded with talent on both sides of the ball and their franchise QB Dak Prescott, was leading the MVP conversation for…
The Cincinnati Bengals are entering 2024 with legitimate Super Bowl aspirations. In four seasons, Joe Burrow has proven that when healthy, he’s one of the most electric quarterbacks in the NFL. The biggest issue has been staying on the field. During his rookie campaign in 2020, Burrow tore his ACL in Week 11. He bounced back in the biggest way in 2021, finishing the regular season with 4,611 passing yards, 35 touchdowns, 14 interceptions and a completion percentage of 70.4 percent. He rode that momentum into the playoffs where he led the Cincinnati Bengals to their first Super Bowl appearance…
The Tennessee Titans don’t view themselves as a team in rebuild mode, but instead a squad that could be a sneaky playoff threat in the newly-competitive AFC South. While there was a ton of turnover this offseason — most notably the team moving on from Mike Vrabel as head coach — the Titans believe they have a roster that can compete with the top teams in the NFL, Vrabel was a defensive-minded head coach and the Titans finished middle-of-the-pack last season with the No. 17 defense in the NFL. But this is a squad that reached the playoffs three-straight seasons…
