The third year of the Lamar Jackson era was not without its troubles. Baltimore fell from its perch atop the AFC North with an 11-5 record, but the Ravens were able to secure their first playoff win since 2014, exacting revenge on the Tennessee Titans. However, Baltimore once again fell in the divisional round of the playoffs, this time losing to the Buffalo Bills.
The Seattle Seahawks aren’t fooling anybody anymore. Sure, they made the playoffs in 2020, their third-straight trip and fifth in the last six years. There’s just one problem though. Getting consistently bounced out of the tournament at the first hurdle.
Seven wins were all the Minnesota Vikings had to show for the 2020 NFL season. It was a year when a previously stale offense took a quantum leap forward, but a defense ravaged by injuries hit the wall. A road win over chief NFC North rival the Green Bay Packers in Week 8, when Dalvin Cook ran riot, was one of the season’s few high points. Conversely, the lowest moment was letting Alvin Kamara and the New Orleans Saints gash an overwhelmed defense for 52 points on Christmas Day.
The calendar has flipped to August. For fans of the NFL, it means football through February. As teams are gearing up for the rapidly approaching regular season, it’s time for the final edition of Tennessee Titans True or False until the offseason returns.
The 2020 season saw the Tennessee Titans win the AFC South Division. Contrary to their Cinderella playoff run in 2019 (when they fell just one win short of playing in the Super Bowl), they were one-and-done in the postseason.
The Carolina Panthers enter the 2021 season as a darkhorse playoff team following a great offseason. Matt Rhule and company have transformed arguably the worst roster in the league last year to one that is on the verge of a playoff berth. Carolina is one of the most intriguing teams this season, and there are many reasons why.
NFL analyst Bucky Brooks talks lots about draft analogies that hit home and accurately describe situations. Brooks often refers to the idea of a draft pick being a single compared to a home-run pick. For the 2020 class of Miami Dolphins, that was seemingly all it was, a bunch of “singles’’.
Training camp for the 2021 New York Jets is more than a week in. There has been a ton of buzz with a whole new coaching staff, quarterback, and infused talent from both free agency and the draft. However, the team has shown some good things thus far.
While the 2021 NFL season is still a month away, it’s never too early to look ahead. Fanbases will argue day and night about who has the better team. Instead of debating the entire roster, why not debate positions? In the 11th part of a 12-part series, I will rank each team’s coaching staff.
NFL training camp is here. For many players, that means a chance to achieve a lifelong dream of making the 53-man roster. However, not everyone can have their wishes fulfilled.
Following a 2019 season, in which the Detroit Lions won just three games, the team’s record was unlikely to improve significantly in 2020. Ultimately, the Lions finished the 2020 season with a 5-11 record, losing five of their last seven games, including four consecutive losses to end the year.
It’s time to identify the 100 best players in football, beginning with Nos. 100 through 91. The series started with 21 players who will be in the 2022 version of this list.
