The NFL season of 2024 has over. The Philadelphia Eagles have emerged victorious after a protracted and turbulent journey, denying the Kansas City Chiefs the opportunity to become the first NFL team to win three straight titles.
It's never too early to look ahead to the 2025 season, even though the 2024 season just completed. The NFL has experienced a great deal of turnover and will continue to do so.
Only roughly half of the teams that make the playoffs return the following year, despite the fact that the Cheifs have been a consistent threat to win the Super Bowl for the last seven seasons.
The league's equity and possibly the current pay cap are to blame. Next season, the Green Bay Packers, representing the NFC, and the Cincinnati Bengals, representing the AFC, will play on the grandest platform in all of sports at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, home of the San Francisco 49ers.
Led by their star quarterback, Jordan Love, the Packers, one of the league's younger teams, have a ton of potential. After they defeated the Dallas Cowboys to become the first seventh seed to defeat a two-seed in the 2023 playoffs, Love made their debut.
There were great expectations for the Packers going forward after their 2023 season ended abruptly in the divisional round against the 49ers.
They looked great and were strong at one time during the previous season, but they lost badly to the Eagles, who are now the Super Bowl champions, in the Wild Card round.
But with Love back in the starting lineup for another season, Matt LaFleur as their offensive head coach, and an offseason to build off the draft and free agency, 2025 might be their year.
The Bengals are currently coming off a disappointing and injury-plagued 2024 campaign. However, Joe Burrow, their outstanding quarterback, elevated his performance.
Despite not making the playoffs, Burrow had an MVP-caliber season. That will improve for the country of Who Dey by 2025.
