The 2024 NFL season is right around the corner. And all 32 teams have the same ultimate goal: Win the Super Bowl. Yet not everyone is realistically expecting a title run. Different clubs have different internal standards, depending on where they’re at in terms of roster construction, staffing changes, and so forth.
So what would actually constitute success for each of the 32 teams this year? Here’s our take:
Kyler Murray staying healthy and making significant strides under center. This is Year 6 (!) for the former No. 1 overall pick. Young pieces like Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride should help, but at some point, the face of the franchise has to definitively take this team from rebuild to relevant.
One of the quarterbacks proving playoff-caliber. They absorbed offseason heat for doing the big-name double-dip at the position, but now they really just need one of either Kirk Cousins or Michael Penix Jr. to pay off. Because the staff and the roster is otherwise fairly ready for a postseason bid.
A leap to the Super Bowl. Lamar Jackson has essentially done everything except reach the big game. And it’s not all on him, but with Derrick Henry’s supersized bulldozing now alongside him in the backfield, and the defense still stacked at every level, John Harbaugh’s surely eager to get (back) over the hump.
Josh Allen overcoming (and/or elevating) the remade wide receiver corps. There is plenty of pressure on Sean McDermott to make like his old boss Andy Reid and finally conquer playoff woes. But the Bills embraced offseason cost-cutting, so Allen simply keeping them a contender would be a plus.
Bryce Young appearing as if he belongs. Even with upgrades out wide and up front, no one honestly expects new coach Dave Canales to have this group knocking on the door of the playoffs. If he simply brings the young quarterback up to NFL speed, rekindling Young’s “it” factor, the arrow will be…
