Summary

The NFL season draws near and it is PLAYOFFS OR BUST for many teams. This includes essentially every team in the NFC East with the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants and Washington Commanders all looking to get back into the dance, but the Giants shouldn't be judged quite on that scale just yet. In the AFC, the Indianapolis Colts have tremendous pressure from ownership to get to the postseason this year and that is quite the tough task in a competitive AFC. An AFC that includes both the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens who cannot afford another miss. Finally, back in the NFC, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are all in for 2026 while two teams in the NFC North, the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings, view themselves as potential division winners, not just playoff attendees.
