Quest to beat the Patriots

The National Football League is such an amazing sport because of its ability to bring families and friends together to watch such an exciting and thrilling sport. There really isn’t another sport quite like it.

The off-season lasted way too long and I’m excited for the regular season to be back on track that I’m jumping for joy. So much happened in the off-season, it made my head spin and I could barely keep track.

Last year ended in a heartbreaker by Tom Brady and the New England Patriots coming back in the Super Bowl game to defeat the Atlanta Falcons 34-28. The regular season has 32 teams each playing 16 games, so basically anything could happen.

I’m a bit of a fan of the underdog as well so I wouldn’t be sad if some team came out of no-where to win it. The power rankings change so much throughout the season that it’s hard to predict who is going to win it all.

Many teams got better this year like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and sadly the Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots who will both be tough to get through.

This is a new year to find out who can possibly dethrone the Pats. The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers are the top two ranked teams to do so. Both teams have had a fairly good off-season and are forces to be reckoned with. Ben Roethlisberger and Aaron Rogers both have won the Lombardi Trophy before and they have the experience and depth to do so again.

Another team that can dethrone the Pats is the New York Giants. The New York Giants have defeated the Pats twice in the Super Bowl in the last 10 years, so they could easily do it again.

With all of this to consider, it makes me excited to start the new season.
