Of the 14 teams to make the NFL playoffs in the 2024 season, only eight made it back to the postseason in ’25. Both No. 1 seeds from the ’24 campaign, the Chiefs and Lions, are among the six that missed out on last year’s playoffs after enduring disappointing seasons.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks, who won Super Bowl LX, weren’t in the playoffs in 2024, nor were the Patriots, whom they faced in the championship game. That’s all to say, a lot can change for a team on a year-to-year basis. The offseason is critical for teams to replenish their rosters and address any glaring needs that may have impacted them the season before.
