10 NFL Fanbases That Live Rent-Free in Every Other Fan’s Head

Some NFL fanbases just have a way of staying in the conversation—whether you like them or not. They talk loud, win big (or act like they do), and somehow always seem to be a topic of debate no matter who’s actually playing.

Love them or hate them, these fanbases know how to make their presence felt across social media, talk shows, and group chats everywhere. Here are 10 NFL fanbases that live rent-free in every other fan’s head.
