15 NFL Fanbases That Deserve Some Good Luck in 2025

As we look ahead to the 2025 NFL season, several fanbases are desperately hoping for a change in fortunes after years of disappointment. These 15 fanbases have remained loyal through trying times, so here’s hoping the football gods smile upon them in 2025, bringing excitement and success to their long-suffering supporters.

Here are 15 NFL fanbases that truly deserve some good luck in the coming year:

1. Cleveland Browns

The Browns have endured a disastrous 2024 season, finishing 3-14 and dead last in the AFC North. With Deshaun Watson’s future uncertain due to injuries, and star player Myles Garrett requesting a trade, Cleveland fans are in dire need of a positive turn of events.

2. Dallas Cowboys

Cowboys fans have now gone 29 years without a Super Bowl appearance. After another disappointing season in 2024, the team enters 2025 with a new head coach and lingering questions about their ability to contend.

3. New York Jets

The Jets made drastic changes in 2024, firing their head coach and making a blockbuster trade for Davante Adams. Now that it appears they’re ready to move on from Aaron Rodgers, their loyal fanbase deserves to see these bold moves pay off with some on-field success in 2025.

4. Carolina Panthers

While the Panthers showed signs of life late in 2024, they still finished 5-12. Their fans have endured years of instability and are hoping the Bryce Young era will finally bring sustained success.

5. Las Vegas Raiders

The Raiders haven’t reached a Super Bowl in 22 years. With new leadership in place, including minority owner Tom Brady, Raider Nation is desperate for a return to relevance. And a good quarterback.

6. New York Giants

After a dismal 2024 campaign, the Giants face major roster issues and salary cap constraints heading into 2025. Their loyal fanbase deserves to see some light at the end of the tunnel.

7. Tennessee Titans

The Titans have fallen from contender status and now face an uncertain future. Their dedicated fans are hoping for a quick turnaround under new leadership.

8. Washington Commanders

With star quarterback Jayden Daniels and an overhauled roster, Commanders fans are cautiously optimistic about 2025. After making it to the NFC championship game in 2024 after years of dysfunction, it seems like things are starting to look up in DC.

9. New England Patriots

The post-Brady era has been rough for Patriots fans accustomed to success. With a rookie quarterback and the NFL’s lowest projected win total in 2024, New England faithful are eager for better days ahead.

10. Minnesota Vikings

Vikings fans have endured more than their fair share of playoff heartbreak over the years. They’re overdue for a deep postseason run that doesn’t end in crushing disappointment.

11. Jacksonville Jaguars

After a promising 2023 season, the Jaguars took a major step back in 2024. Their long-suffering fanbase deserves to see Trevor Lawrence and the team reach their full potential.

12. Chicago Bears

Bears fans have patiently waited through a rebuilding process. With two top-10 draft picks in 2025, they’re hoping this is the year Chicago finally turns the corner.

13. Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers have a history of falling short in big moments. Their loyal supporters are yearning to see Justin Herbert lead the team on a deep playoff run.

14. Atlanta Falcons

Falcons fans are still haunted by their Super Bowl LI collapse. After years of mediocrity, they’re desperate to see their team become relevant in the NFC South once again.

15. Detroit Lions

While the Lions showed promise in 2024, their fanbase has endured decades of futility. They’re long overdue for a truly special season that energizes the city of Detroit.
