The Greatest Story on Turf 2025

The Greatest Story on Turf 2025. This is where we break down every story from every NFL game. What's on the line? Who needs the win more, and ultimately, who will win and change their story? There is one Super Bowl every year, but there are countless meaningful stories and climactic moments along the way to the ultimate goal.

16. Cardinals vs. Saints

Left For Dead

The Cardinals and the Saints may look like they have nothing in common, but that's not true. They both have no expectations. The Saints have no expectations because they are talent-starved. They don't have a quarterback and have had some key departures. However, the Cardinals are just a more exciting version of the Saints. We expect the Cardinals to be exciting but ultimately break down at the end of the season. They have no playoff wins in Kyler's tenure and one awful playoff appearance. It's to the point where he's no longer considered elite. Which one of these teams will show a pulse? Which team will start changing its narrative?

Prediction Cardinals

15. Dolphins vs. Colts

Something's Got to Change

Both these teams are in disgusting positions. First off, the top ten overall pick, Tua, has won fewer playoff games than Daniel Jones. Let that sink in. The Dolphins continue to be disappointing. They have numerous holes on their roster, and they are drifting farther from contention. Tua, the coach, and the organization need to accomplish something, or heads will roll.

Speaking of Daniel Jones, he is starting for the Colts, which is not good. Because that means you think your rookie is a bust. Daniel Jones was just paid to leave the Giants because even they couldn't do it anymore. The Colts haven't made the playoffs since Philip Rivers, and even then, they were immediately eliminated. One of these teams needs to get its crap together. Who will it be?

Prediction Dolphins

14. Seahawks vs. 49ers

Are We Turning the Page?

The Seahawks are ascending, and the 49ers' window is closing. However, can the 49ers pry it open a little more, or have the Seahawks passed them? For Sam Darnold, is he really as good as he was with the Vikings, or was it the system and ideal conditions? Who's the little brother in this division, the Seahawks or the 49ers?

Prediction 49ers

13. Rams vs. Texans

Who can take it?

The Texans had the same level of success last year as they did in CJ Stroud's first year, but it was so much harder. Will the Texans look like they did last year and regress, or will they figure out the kinks and grow? The Rams are good; the only question is whether or not Matt Stafford's back is. Without Mathew Stafford, this team would be in serious jeopardy. His back is supposed to be good, but will it stand up when he's getting beaten up by the intense Texans defense?

Prediction Rams

12. Panthers vs. Jaguars

Redemption Arc?

Two number one overall picks once thought to be great or generational are now considered mid at best. The Panthers have been so dysfunctional so far that people haven't really blamed Bryce Young for anything. However, if he comes out in year three and drops a dud, his career might be over, and when you have stakes like that, it's essential to build momentum.

Trevor Lawrence won a playoff game, but even then, he threw four interceptions. He's been middling at best, but now he has a new coach and a. lot of weapons. Can he finally pay off his draft hype? We will find out when these number one picks collide.

Prediction Jaguars

11. Lions vs. Packers

NFC Whose Yard is it?

The Lions have established themselves as the top dogs in the NFC North, and they did that when they dethroned the old guard of the Aaron Rodgers Packers and continued that dominance with the Jordan Love Packers. However, the Lions now appear vulnerable. They have lost both their offensive and defensive coordinators and had a terrible first-round elimination last year. Can they bounce back?

Meanwhile, the Packers are growing. They have remained playoff contenders and have added Micha Parsons and Golden, and now people are talking Super Bowl. Will the Packers take back control of the NFC North, or are they in for a reality check?

Prediction Packers

10. Titans vs. Broncos

Sensation of which nation?

On one side, we have the former rookie sensation who made the playoffs in his first year and proved he belonged. Everyone is wondering how he will follow it up. Are the Broncos real contenders? How much more room is there for Bo Nix to grow? There's a lot of excitement in Broncos nation; everything could be changing for them. On the other side is the least talked about number one overall pick, Cam Ward, going against the best defense in the NFL in his first start. Will he sink or swim?

Prediction Broncos

9. Raiders vs. Patriots

New Coach Who dis?

The Raiders and the Patriots have made some changes to their organization. For the Patriots, the days of Brady and Mac Jones are gone. They have also traded Bill for his former player, Vrabel. This is the year the Patriots are supposed to reenter the field of relevant teams, but will they? On the other side, Geno has taken over the Raiders alongside Pete Caroll. The Raiders have been circling the drain for a while. Despite their brand, they have given fans very little to cheer for. Back in the early 2000s, Mike Vrabel beat the Raiders in the tuck rule game and started the Patriots dynasty as the Raiders went to the shadow realm. Will the Raiders be able to avenge Vrabel and start their era?
