AFC Breakdown
The AFC is shaping up to be a competitive conference in 2024. The Kansas City Chiefs are still the team to beat, but the Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills, and Jacksonville Jaguars are all capable of making a run to the Super Bowl. The Baltimore Ravens, New York Jets, and Denver Broncos are also in the mix for a playoff spot.
The Broncos snuck into the playoffs in the final week of the regular season, but they have a lot of talent on their roster. Quarterback Russell Wilson is still one of the best in the NFL, and the Broncos have a strong defense led by Bradley Chubb and Justin Simmons. If the Broncos can stay healthy, they could make some noise in the playoffs.
NFC Breakdown
The NFC is also shaping up to be a competitive conference in 2024. The Philadelphia Eagles are the defending NFC champions, and they are still the team to beat. The San Francisco 49ers, Minnesota Vikings, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are all capable of making a run to the Super Bowl. The Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, and Seattle Seahawks are also in the mix for a playoff spot.
The Seahawks are a bit of a surprise team on this list. They finished with a losing record in 2023, but they have a lot of young talent on their roster. Quarterback Geno Smith had a breakout season in 2023, and the Seahawks have a strong defense led by Tariq Woolen and Jordyn Brooks. If the Seahawks can continue to improve, they could be a dark horse team in the playoffs.
The 2024 NFL playoffs are shaping up to be very competitive. There are several teams that could make a run to the Super Bowl, and it should be a lot of fun to watch.
