One of the biggest reasons why the NFL is the most dominant force in American media is their high level of parity. Every year teams you never expect take major leaps into playoff – and legitimate contender – status. Take for example the Philadelphia Eagles.
In 2021, Philly barely qualified for the postseason at 9-8 and were quickly dispatched in a blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Then in 2022 they went 14-3, won the NFC and advanced to the Super Bowl.
