Teams that can make a Super Bowl Run


Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens have Lamar Jackson. That's a great start, but if the Ravens want a Super Bowl

run, they’ll have to hope for better luck than last season. They had several injuries before

the year started with J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards, and Marcus Peters all being injured for the

season before week 1. Then losing Ronnie Staley, Marlon Humphrey, and Lamar Jackson as

the season went on. The Ravens still have the talent to make a Super Bowl run, but I do have

concerns with their offensive line. Go look at the Dolphins game and their talent at wide

receiver. They’ll really need second year receiver Rashod Bateman to step up. They do still

have Mark Andrews, but with all the offensive firepower in the AFC, Baltimore will have to

hope their wideouts can match that.



Denver Broncos

Adding Russell Wilson to a team with as much young talent as Denver is huge. He can be

the Quarterback they haven’t had since Peyton Manning retired. Denver has talent all over

the offense with running backs Javontae Williams and Melvin Gordon, and then at wide

receiver with Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, and KJ Hamler. Defensively, they have Patrick

Surtain II and Justin Simmons in the secondary, and they’re hoping to get a lot out of pass

rushers Bradley Chubb and Randy Gregory. Denver has the talent to make a deep run, but

they do have a couple of rookie coaches and absolute gauntlet of a division in the AFC West.



Indianapolis Colts

The Colts brought in Matt Ryan at quarterback, then added 2019 DPOY Stephon Gilmore as

well as defensive end Yannick Ngakoue. The Colts have Jonathon Taylor, who put up

monstrous numbers in 2021, and the Colts do have a good offensive line that hopes to be

healthier this season. Michael Pittman Jr. also had a good year, but I do have concerns as to

if he’s truly a number one option. The Colts do have a lack of talent at the wide receiver position, but they did draft Alex Pierce in the second round of the Draft. The Colts will also have to get more from Kwitty Paye this season as the pass rush will be very important to how successful new defensive coordinator Gus Bradley will be with this defense.



Dallas Cowboys

Dallas always has the talent, but they can never get out of their own way. Last January, they

lost to the 49ers in a home Wild Card game in which they could only muster up seven points

until the fourth quarter. Ceedee Lamb is one of my 2022 breakout stars, but the talent

behind him is a question mark with Michael Gallup recovering from an ACL injury. The

offensive line is also aging, and the defense should see some regression after being second

in DVOA due to the crazy number of turnovers they caused.



Philadelphia Eagles

I think Philly might have the best chance on this list as they have an incredibly deep team

with very little weaknesses. Jalen Hurts development is the biggest key to how far Philly can

go in 2022. Philadelphia added a great wide receiver in AJ Brown and a cornerback in James

Bradberry, who isn’t too far removed from a great season in 2020 and will be able to bounce

back and share the corner duties with Darius Slay. Philadelphia has an amazing offensive line

and Philly had a dominant run game that could carry them on a deep run in the NFC.



Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings biggest thing will always be how Kirk Cousins will perform. However, the Vikings

have Justin Jefferson, Adam Theilen, and Dalvin Cook on offense, as well as hiring former

Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell as their head coach, who may just take Justin

Jefferson to new heights. I am really excited to see this Vikings defense who added

Za’Darius Smith who will rush the passer with Danielle Hunter. This secondary really excites

me with Patrick Peterson, Cam Dantzler, Andrew Booth, Harrison Smith, and one of my

favorite draft picks, Lewis Cine.



New Orleans Saints

New Orleans is a big sleeper in the NFC. They did lose longtime coach Sean Payton but

new head coach Dennis Allen has had the Saints defense has given Tom Brady trouble these past few years. The Saints also got Michael Thomas back and added Jarvis Landry to go along with Alvin Kamara, and they drafted Chris Olave. The Saints season comes down to the success of Jameis Winston.
