The NFL will crown a champion on Sunday when the and take the field for Super Bowl LIV. Its a matchup between and one of the leagues best defenses. But what about the other 10 teams that came up short this January?This time a year ago, as the and prepared for Super Bowl LIII, the Chiefs were sitting at home thinking about how excruciatingly close they came to reaching their first Super Bowl since the 1969 season after an overtime coin to s and an offside penalty cost them a spot in the championship. It always did feel like the Chiefs would be back and take the next step, seeing that they had the worlds best quarterback in Mahomes and only needed to provide him with an adequate defense to give him the support he needed to carry the Chiefs to the Super Bowl -- which is why, at this point a year ago, . Sure enough, the Chiefs upgraded their defense. Mahomes did the rest. And the Chiefs are one win away from immortality.As we begin the two-week dead period before the Super Bowl, nows as good a time as ever to rank the 10 playoff teams that fell short this year by their chances of winning next years Super Bowl. Before we begin, its worth noting that every teams standing will undoubtedly change between now and September. We have no way to know how each team will behave in March. We dont know which teams will be big-time spenders in free agency to add to their rosters and bolster their chances of taking the next step. We dont know which teams will sit back in free agency and instead, run it back with what theyve already got.Working with the information available at this time, we begin in Buffalo. Who will Tom Brady and Philip Rivers play for next season? And who should you bet on in Super Bowl LIV? Jason La Canfora and Kenny White join Will Brinson to break it all down on the Pick Six Podcast. Listen below andfor daily NFL goodne s fired into your eardrums.10. The argument in favor of the Bills winning the Super Bowl next season goes like this: Second-year quarterback already took a huge step forward in his development and can be expected to continue developing at a similar trajectory. The Bills defense will remain one of the leagues top units. And Dylan Larkin Women Jersey with the Patriots seemingly on the cusp of surrendering their stranglehold over the AFC East, its the Bills best positioned to take their spot atop the division after a 10-6 season that included two narrow lo ses to New England. Unfortunately for the Bills, Allens development in Year 2 has been overstated. As I wrote back when all 12 playoff teams were still alive and I: From last year to this year, his completion percentage improved by 6 percent (good!), he averaged 0.2 more yards per pa s attempt (meh), his touchdown percentage rose by 1.2 percent (good!), his interception percentage declined by 1.8 percent (great!), and his pa ser rating climbed by 17.4 points (great!). However,. By both DYAR and DVOA, he finished the season ranked 27th -- one spot ahead ofand one spot behind. By total QBR, which factors in running (a real strength of Allens), he finished the season ranked 26th -- one spot ahead ofand one spot behind. Last season, Allen ranked 33rd, 33rd, and 26th in those respective categories. Its true that Allen enjoyed a nice midseason stretch that culminated with over the , but consistency on a throw-to-throw and game-to-game basis remains a problem. Josh Allen will always have that Cowboys game new-age analytical (@benbbaldwin) That doesnt mean Allen cant improve in Year 3. It just means he hasnt made the leap yet. And we cant presume hell improve or become more consistent in 2020. The fact remains that the Bills have the worst quarterback of the 10 teams on this list. Defensively, , third in yards allowed, and second in points allowed. Its a talented unit coached by Sean McDermott. They should remain good in 2020, a suming they can stay as healthy as they did in 2019. But injury luck tends to fluctuate on a year-to-year basis. Regre sion should be expected. The Bills defense stayed incredibly healthy this season, which is usually a key component in sustaining high-end play. Poyer, Hyde, T White, Wallace, Edmunds, Milano, Hughes, Murphy, Lawson, Alexander, Oliver, Lotulelei, Phillips all played 16+ games. Incredible. Mike Clay (@MikeClayNFL) Both of these factors make the Bills , a team that enjoyed a succe sful 2018 season with a second-year quarterback who improved marginally and an awesome defense that stayed healthy only to suffer a disappointing 8-8 follow up campaign because their defense regre sed and their quarterback failed to make the leap. Finally, theres the fact that the Bills play in the AFC East, meaning theyll need to vanquish the Patriots and eventually, the Chiefs in the playoffs. Nobody should be writing off the Patriots just because they fell short of expectations in 2019 (more on them further down below). Nobody should be expecting the Chiefs to disappear. Unle s Allen improves mightily as a pa ser and the defense replicates its succe s, the Bills probably wont be able to hang with Mahomes. The future in Buffalo is brighter than its been for decades, but they still have a Steve Yzerman Jersey ways to go to capture their first Super Bowl. The best way the Bills can overcome the odds? Win big in free agency. With , that cant be ruled out. 9. The Titans were probably the best story of the postseason. But they were only the best story of the postseason because they just barely snuck into the playoffs at 9-7 before earning huge road upsets over both the Patriots and . To put it another way, they were a great story because they werent a great team that exceeded expectations.Now, theyll head into the offseason needing to make multiple key decisions that will drastically impact their short- and long-term future. is an impending free agent. After Tannehill led the Titans to a 7-3 record in the regular season to push them into the playoffs with the Titans cant afford to let him walk. They also probably shouldnt hand him a long-term deal considering this is the first time in Tannehills eight-year career hes looked like a franchise-caliber quarterback. Thats really the problem in all of this. For as great as Tannehill played this season, I dont know if we can expect him to repeat his performance in 2020. Tannehill led the league in completion percentage over expectation even though he averaged the third-most air yards per attempt and threw into , per Next Gen Stats. He deserves all the credit for doing so. But Im not entirely sure its sustainable, mainly because its the first time hes done something like this in his career. is also an impending free agent. After Henry became the leagues most dominant running back down the stretch, the Titans probably wont let him walk, but the Titans also shouldnt pay him money. Thats not a shot at Henry. Its just the reality of the running back position in the NFL. , who went undrafted and got cut too many times to count before landing in San Francisco, Paying a running back big money is not an efficient use of money. Unfortunately, as the Rams and Cowboys have demonstrated over the past couple years, teams often dont adhere to logic. It would be surprising if the Titans didnt give Henry a long-term deal. A suming Henry will be back in 2020, nobody should expect him to have a bad follow up to an awesome 2019 season, but as their lo s to the Chiefs proved, the Titans probably cant run the ball all the way to the Super Bowl -- not against the likes of Mahomes. As the 49ers proved, to make it to the Super Bowl with an offensive composed entirely of running plays, you also need an elite defense. On that note, the Titans also need to replace their defensive coordinator after Hes not irreplaceable, but it is a tough lo s. When Pees arrived in 2018, he inherited a unit that ranked and 17th in points allowed. This season, the Titans defense ranked and 12th in points allowed one year after ranking and third in points allowed. The Titans also lostThe uncertainty heading into the offseason coupled with the fact that the Titans needed everything to go right for them to mount an incredible run that ended one game shy of the Super Bowl is why they find themselves near the bottom of the list. Kudos to Tannehill and Henry for carrying the team as far as they did, but Im not entirely sure its sustainable.8.The Texans are ranked above the Titans because of one player:. Watson cant do it all by himself, Nick Jensen Men Jersey which is why the Texans are still ranked near the bottom of the list, but he gives the Texans a chance.But the Texans are unlikely to win the Super Bowl because the team doesnt have enough resources to give him the help he needs. Barring any trades,. Thats their only pick in the top 100. Its almost like having a general manger is important -- especially for a team withandWatson makes the Texans the favorites in the AFC South because hes the best quarterback in the division. But unle s he gets some help, he cant be expected to win a Super Bowl entirely on his own. Do you trust coach/GM Bill OBrien to get him that help? I dont. 7. One year after it claimed the Bears, the regre sion monster could be coming for the Packers following a 14-4 season (including the playoffs) that saw them post a 9-1 record in one-score games (also including the playoffs). Their point differential in the regular season was plus-63. For the sake of comparison, a 49ers team that posted the same record in the regular season had a plus-169 point differential. Based on their point differential, the Packers expected win total was 9.7. They overachieved. Green Bay and the worst 13-3 (or better) teams in DVOA history (since 1985). The 1999 Colts are the only 13-3 team to come out worse than this years Packers by DVOA. Aaron Schatz (@FO_ASchatz) on Sunday, indicated that he didnt think the gap between the Packers and the 49ers was that substantial. All of the evidence indicates otherwise.To offset regre sion, the Packers can sign difference makers in free agency one year after they did well to add the likes of , , and to a defense that proceeded to make the leap. They can also improve offensively. The Packers defense improved, in DVOA. Their offense did not improve, , even though Matt LaFleur was hired to replace Mike McCarthy because he was supposed to bring an innovative offense to Green Bay. More concerning is that Rodgers submitted another underwhelming season by his standards. continue to indicate that Rodgers is well past his prime. We kept waiting for the Packers offense to catch fire, but it just never did. We kept waiting for Rodgers to look like the all-time great quarterback he once was, but he never did. At age 36, its likely that this is the new normal for Rodgers. For the Packers to get over the hump after losing their third NFC title game over the past six seasons, they either need Rodgers to return to or they need the team around him to improve now that hes no longer good enough to mask all of their flaws. 6. Theres bound to be some outrage with the Vikings ranked above the Packers considering the Packers swept the season series and made it one round further than the Vikings, but the Vikings finished the season with a far better point differential (plus-104 compared to plus-63), more expected wins (10.7 compared to 9.7), and a (seventh compared to 10th), all of which are typically good predictors of future succe s.Cousins actually outperformed Rodgers over the course of the season by posting career-highs (not counting the first three seasons of his career, when he hadnt yet emerged as a full-time starter) in touchdown percentage (5.9), yards per attempt (8.1), and pa ser rating (107.4). He ranked. Perhaps most importantly, (something he has in common with Rodgers), Cousins actually managed to get the monkey off his back by leading the Vikings to some big wins in big games -- most notably, an upset of the in the first round of the playoffs. A 3-4 record in one-score games (including the playoffs) hurt the Vikings as much as the Packers succe s in one-score games helped them, but as previously mentioned, that is something that tends to fluctuate on a year-to-year basis. The Packers cant expect to get as lucky. The Vikings shouldnt expect to be as unlucky.That doesnt mean the Vikings dont have flaws. They desperately need to improve their pa s protection. But from top to bottom, they have the best team in the NFC North.The bad news and ultimately the reason why theyre stuck on the bottom half of this list? Theyre making it difficult for them to fix those flaws. 5. This is all about . Even though hes hamstrung by a coaching staff hellbent on establishing the run, Wilson is great enough to lead the Seahawks to a second championship. The hope is that the Seahawks coaching staff realizes the errors in their ways and starts designing their offense around one of the leagues best quarterbacks, but until that happens, its safer to a sume the Seahawks will trot out another run-heavy offense that requires Wilson to rescue them late in games. Its a testament to Wilsons greatne s that the Seahawks rank this high. Whats concerning, of course, is that the Seahawks posted an 11-3 record in one-score games (including the playoffs). As mentioned in the Packers section, that is due for some major regre sion. The difference between the Packers and Seahawks? The Seahawks still have a quarterback playing at an MVP level. That matters more than anything else in the NFL. By DVOA, , ranking one spot behind the Vikings. I think theyre remarkable close to each other -- which is backed up by their 37-30 game back in Week 13. Id be fine with anyone wanting to flip the two teams. Tough decisions loom for the Seahawks front office, with a number of key players -- like -- hitting free agency. The good news is that . Residing in the ultra-competitive NFC West wont make things easy for them. But the Seahawks did go 1-1 against the 49ers, winning in overtime and losing by one lousy yard. The 49ers are more talented, but Wilson gives the Seahawks a chance to surpa s them in 2020. 4. The Eagles fell short of expectations in 2019 by winning only nine games and bowing out in the first round of the playoffs, but merely making it into January after suffering as many injuries as they did over the course of the season and hanging tough against the Seahawks with -- who was -- at quarterback can both be considered achievements. A suming the Eagles injury luck improves, they already almost have a Super Bowl-caliber roster -- which is why I picked them to make it to the Super Bowl before the season. Even with all of the injuries, they still . They also happen to reside in the NFC East, the worst division in football, which could give them an easy path to the playoffs. GM Howie Roseman has demonstrated hes willing to be aggre sive to build a contender, so dont be surprised if the Eagles make upgrades this offseason. Above all else, the Eagles just need to get healthy. If they do, I think well see Adam Erne Men Jersey a major improvement in 2020. 3. Patriots For all of the talk about this maybe being the end of the Patriots dynasty, they still went 12-4 with the leagues second-best point differential (plus-195). Lets not act like the Patriots were bad in 2019. They were disappointing by their standards, but their standards arent the same as the rest of the leagues. While appears to be , until he signs elsewhere, Im not going to a sume hes leaving the Patriots after spending the past 20 years in New England with Bill Belichick. Despite between the quarterback and coach over the past few years, the two of them have been together for six championships. It wasnt long ago that the Patriots traded away , who appeared to be Bradys succe sor. Im not saying Brady wont leave. But until it happens, Im going to a sume Brady will be back for another season. And for what its worth, if Brady were to depart, the Patriots would have options. This just happens to be an offseason where a ton of quarterbacks might be available, from to to to to . Would anyone be that surprised if Belichick managed to turn Dalton into a playoff winner? Really, Belichick is the key in all of this. He lost his top defensive lieutenant for a second straight offseason and he still had the Patriots defense at the top of the table in 2019. He of all people understands the Patriots offense needs to improve in 2020 if hes going to capture another Super Bowl. I think we Justin Abdelkader Jersey re going to see the Patriots get aggre sive in the offseason to bolster their offense. I dont think he wants to undergo a slow and methodical rebuild considering where hes at in his career. And lets not forget about the Patriots injury luck. They were shorthanded on offense for much of the season, losing key players up front and fullback , who is a key component in their running game. A suming the Patriots re-sign Brady, get healthy, add reinforcements, and maintain their defensive succe s under the guidance of the best coach in NFL history, the Patriots should be back playing meaningful football in January. Theyve won three Super Bowls over the past six seasons. One bad season by their standards that still resulted in a playoff berth wont be enough to get me to jump off the ship. But the presence of Mahomes, The Prince That Was Promised, in the AFC pushes the Patriots to No. 3 behind the Saints, who have the good fortune of residing in the NFC, where theyll avoid Mahomes until February. 2. Saints The Saints arent that different from the Patriots. Theyve got a great coach in Sean Payton, an aging all-time great quarterback in , a good defense, and their season ended with a disappointing upset in the playoffs. But the Saints are entering a le s uncertain offseason. . On the off chance he doesnt, the Saints can always turn to Bridgewater, who posted a 5-0 record filling in for Brees. Brees didnt play well in the playoff lo s to the Vikings, but unlike 2018, he finished the 2019 regular season on a tear, helping to a suage my concerns over how gracefully hes aging. Their defense will likely bring back all of their key components By overall DVOA, the Saints ranked fourth -- The Saints are running out of time to win their second Super Bowl with Brees, but their window hasnt closed yet. 1. Ravens Lets not overreact to one horrible performance in the playoffs that ended their season prematurely. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong in a lo s to the Titans, but that doesnt invalidate the succe s they found this season. The Ravens were the best team in football for most of the season before going one-and-done in the playoffs. They won 14 games. They outscored their opposition by a league-high 249 points. They Their quarterback, , is going to capture MVP honors after his first full season as a starter. Most of their important pieces will be back in 2020. They didnt lose any a sistant coaches -- most notably, offensive coordinator Greg Roman and defensive coordinator Don Martindale -- during hiring season. The Ravens are going to run it back in 2020. That should terrify the rest of the NFL. They also reside in the AFC North, where the are entering a full-on rebuild, the are depending on to at the age of 38, and the are still the Browns. The Ravens should be favored to win the division again. Along with the Chiefs, they should be favored to earn a first-round bye, which will give them a leg up on the rest of the field. The key in all of this is that Jackson should continue to grow. Look at how much progre s he made after only one offseason in Romans system. A young receiver group that featured two rookies in and should improve. Their defense already improved substantially over the course of the season. Perhaps the biggest factor is John Harbaugh, a coach who has embraced analytics and adapted to modern times. Dont overlook his importance, similar to how Belichick always puts the Patriots in the best po sible position. Harbaugh and the Ravens are at the forefront of innovation. I cant wait to see what they come up with next after designing the leagues most prolific rushing attack in 2019. This is one of the leagues smartest teams with one of the leagues deepest rosters, from the quarterback to the kicker. A suming they stick to the proce s they started in 2019, even better results could be on the horizon.
