The NFL has become more than what happens on the field, with celebrity culture and intrigue becoming just as vital to the sport's popularity with fans as wins and losses. Here is your guide to the 2024 season.
The National Football League returns for season 2024 with the Kansas City Chief trying to achieve the first three-peat in the Super Bowl era.
The new NFL year begins on Friday morning with a rematch of last season's AFC championship game.The Chiefs hosted the opening game of last season, but we beaten by the Detroit Lions. So, will the greatest sporting love story since Rocky and Adrian continue to affect this NFL season? It already has. As the season carries on and the Chiefs attempt to achieve an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl, you can be assured Taylor's NFL era will continue to be broadcast and consumed.Dak Prescott , CeeDee Lamb , Micah Parsons , DaRon Bland Dallas had their eye on glory in 2023, going 12-5 in the regular season to win the NFC East.
The first home game for the Cowboys will be against the New Orleans Saints, on Monday, September 16 at 3am AEST. Can the Giants make it back to the playoffs? Maybe. But the organisation will want to see signs of success or jobs may be in jeopardy.Jalen Hurts , A.J. Brown , Lane Johnson , Brandon Graham After losing a nail-biting decider the year before to the Chiefs, the Eagles were 10-1 and on their way to clinching the number one seed in the NFC.
The Eagles have an explosive offence, with quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receiver A.J. Brown one of the league's most threatening duos. Daniels will have a reliable target to throw too, with tight end Zach Ertz being acquired, as well as the steady hand of Austin Ekeler at running back. Among the mammoth amount of compensation the Bears received for trading their first pick in 2023, was getting the Panthers' first pick in 2024. The Panthers had the worst record in the NFL last season, so their draft spot, which now belonged to Chicago, was first overall.
They won a playoff game last season, their first in 32 years. The team came within a whisker of winning the NFC Championship and going to the Super Bowl. The Lions also recorded a win over the Chiefs, at Kansas City. Running back Aaron Jones has left the team, but the Packers signed Josh Jacobs who was terrific for the Las Vegas Raiders in previous years.
But any plans of McCarthy playing this year were dashed when he sustained a season-ending knee injury in the team's first pre-season game. That certainly raised eyebrows, as Cousins would have hoped for a new receiving threat, or fans may have wanted a nice addition to their defence. The Panthers have also made moves in defence, signing edge-rusher Jadeveon Clowney and defensive tackle tackle A'Shawn Robinson.
Tampa's defence is great, they just need Mayfield and the offence to give them a few more points and they can improve on last year's 9-8 record. Harrison Jr was lethal as a college player and there are high expectations for the Cardinals' first round draft pick. The loss of Aaron Donald, who will surely be inducted into the Hall of Fame when he becomes eligible, is a massive blow to the team.
Brock Purdy proved he is a great quarterback in 2023 and at 24 years of age, he still has room to grow.Coming off a winning season, which was not enough for the playoffs, Seattle will enter the 2024 season with a similar list. This season, quarterback Josh Allen will not have the luxury of throwing to wide receiver Stefon Diggs who has moved to Houston.
Running back Raheem Mostert was outstanding in 2023 and the team will be hoping for more of the same. The Patriots selected Drake Maye with the third pick of this year's draft, a clear sign they believe the young man from North Carolina is their future. Joe Burrow , Ja'Marr Chase , Trey Hendrickson Geno Stone The AFC North shapes to be just as competitive in 2024, meaning the Bengals will need to up their game if they are to make the playoffs, or compete in a Super Bowl like they did three seasons ago.The Bengals have serious weapons on offence, with Burrow having wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to target.
Former Super Bowl-winning QB Russell Wilson will start the season as the Steelers's signal caller, trying to resurrect his career after a difficult stint in Denver. Quarterback C.J. Stroud was outstanding last season and this year he gets a new weapon in Stefon Diggs at wide receiver. Trevor Lawrence , Evan Engram , Josh Hines-Allen , Tyson Campbell The 24-year-old signed a five-year extension with the team, worth reportedly $US275 million.They missed out on the playoffs last season with a winning record, something they want to rectify.Josh Hines-Allen will be trusted to pressure opposing QBs, while Tyson Campbell is looking to prove why the four-year extension he signed was worth it for the Jaguars.
Playoffs might be a stretch for the Broncos in 2024, but head coach Sean Payton knows how to get the best out of any player.Patrick Mahomes , Joe Thuney , Chris Jones , Trent McDuffie That is not to say Gardner Minshew is a slouch. Minshew has been serviceable for several teams over the past few seasons, but it is hard to see how the Raiders can score enough points to win lots of games.But this is a league now dominated by offence and that makes it hard to envision the Raiders making the playoffs.Justin Herbert , Khalil Mack , Joey Bosa , Derwin James Fresh off winning the College Football National Championship with Michigan, coach Jim Harbaugh returns to the NFL.
