Welcome back to my annual column naming every team that could end this season as the Super Bowl champion. First order of business: You would be correct in pointing out that the Seahawks were not on last year’s list. My arrival to the Seattle hype train came toward the tail end of training camp. As such, I felt like I missed a chance to buy Apple stock at $10 a share. (I’m assuming that’s how stocks work?)
When outlining the teams that, each July, leap anew into the group that can actually win the Super Bowl, we often find these commonalities: teams that, by virtue of being reimagined by a new coach or coaches, or the arrival of a new quarterback, end up making an extraordinary leap in competence. The Commanders were that team last year, based on the run they had with Dan Quinn and Jayden Daniels in 2024.
