Every NFL team has a little swagger—some more earned than others. But a few franchises have taken confidence to a whole new level, whether they’re riding a winning streak or sitting at the bottom of the standings, insisting they’re just “one play away”.
From humble grinders to trash-talk factories, this is the full breakdown of which fanbases, players, and franchises bring the most attitude to the league. Here’s how all 32 NFL teams stack up when it comes to cockiness—win or lose.
32. Indianapolis Colts
Colts fans tend to stay pretty grounded, probably because of the post-Luck chaos. Even when they’re good, they rarely act like they invented the sport.
31. Carolina Panthers
You’ll occasionally hear a stray “this is our year,” but it’s more hopeful than cocky. The vibes are more rebuilding than trash-talking.
30. Atlanta Falcons
Falcons fans have been through a lot, and they know better than to talk too much. Any swagger is usually followed by a nervous glance at the scoreboard.
29. Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jags are finally getting spicy, but the confidence still feels new and a little awkward. Give them a few more playoff wins, and the volume might go up.
28. Detroit Lions
The Lions are one of the best teams in the league, but their fans have been humbled by decades of heartbreak. There’s excitement now, but it’s cautious swagger—nothing too loud (yet).
27. Houston Texans
The Texans are finally building something, but they haven’t been around long enough to get too loud about it. They’ve got confidence in the future, not arrogance in the present.
26. Minnesota Vikings
The Vikings like to think they’re close, but there’s always a “but” coming. Their confidence fluctuates wildly from week to week.
25. New York Giants
Giants fans are passionate, but mostly realistic these days. They’ll remind you of the two Super Bowls over Brady, but that’s about it.
24. Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals don’t have a ton to brag about lately. When they do talk big, it feels more like overcompensation than actual belief.
23. Los Angeles Rams
The Rams have some hardware, but their fan base is still finding its voice in LA. They’re more low-key flashy than full-blown cocky.
22. Tennessee Titans
The Titans play with a chip on their shoulder and act like everyone’s sleeping on them. Spoiler alert — when your team gets the #1 pick in the draft you have no room to be cocky.
21. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Brady years brought a wave of new energy, but it’s settled back down. Without a GOAT under center, the confidence level has reset.
20. Seattle Seahawks
Seahawks fans still ride the high from the Legion of Boom era. They’re chill until you bring up Malcolm Butler—then the tone changes.
19. New Orleans Saints
Saints fans have a strong mix of loyalty and defiance. They’ll chirp at you about Sean Payton and Brees even if the current record doesn’t back it up.
18. Green Bay Packers
Packers fans always believe they’re a contender—even if they’re not. The cheesehead confidence never really dips below 80%.
17. Cleveland Browns
Browns fans have waited so long to be good, they talk big even when it’s premature. The confidence is a little chaotic, but it’s definitely there.
16. Washington Commanders
Commanders fans think every new quarterback is the answer, and with Jayden Daniels, they’re finally right. However, after years of heartbreak, they’re still proceeding with caution.
15. Chicago Bears
Bears fans are feisty and will talk up their defense no matter what. A 6-11 season? Still better than your team, somehow.
14. New York Jets
Jets fans have mastered the art of being loud and delusional. They’re convinced this is the year… every year.
13. Pittsburgh Steelers
Steelers fans carry decades of success like armor. Even in a down year, they talk like they’re on their way to another Super Bowl.
12. Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins have leaned into the flash, and so have their fans. Whether they’re dominating or barely hanging on, the confidence stays high.
11. Las Vegas Raiders
Raiders fans bring swagger no matter the scoreboard. Losing record? Doesn’t matter—they’ll still talk trash in face paint.
10. Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers may not have the résumé, but they talk like a team that does. The confidence is out of proportion to the trophy case, but it’s entertaining.
9. Buffalo Bills
Bills Mafia believes they’re inevitable, and that belief never wavers. Even a crushing playoff loss doesn’t shake their confidence.
8. Cincinnati Bengals
Recent success has made Bengals fans bolder than ever. With Joe Burrow at the helm, the swagger is real—and deserved.
7. San Francisco 49ers
Niners fans have historic pride and aren’t afraid to flex it. They carry themselves like every year is a championship or bust.
6. Denver Broncos
Broncos Country rides hard for its team—even when it shouldn’t. That Super Bowl win in 2015 still carries a lot of confidence currency.
5. Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens have built-in swagger from their tough defense and Lamar Jackson’s highlight reels. The energy is confident, physical, and a little smug.
4. New England Patriots
Even without Brady, the arrogance never left. They still talk like they’ve got six rings… because they do.
3. Kansas City Chiefs
When you have Patrick Mahomes, the confidence just radiates. Chiefs fans believe they’re the new dynasty—and they’re not shy about it.
