What Your NFL Fandom Says About You

Football season may be over, but let’s be honest, football fandom is a 24/7 365 days a year kind of thing. 

Whether you’re loyal to the bone or just here for the vibes, here’s what your fandom reveals about your personality.

San Francisco 49ers

49ers fans

You expect excellence and won’t accept anything less. You also believe your team is the best in the league, no matter what the standings say.

New York Jets

You have the ability to believe in miracles, because nothing else explains your optimism. Every year, you convince yourself this will be different (and then it isn’t). Hey, maybe 2025 is your year, Jets fans.

Baltimore Ravens

Baltimore Ravens
Openverse

You love chaos, defense, and a good underdog story. There’s a 100% chance you’ve argued that Ray Lewis is the greatest linebacker of all time. And that Lamar Jackson should’ve been the 2024 MVP.

Tennessee Titans

Tennessee Titans
Openverse

You believe in running the ball and playing defense, no matter what. You also refuse to admit that Will Levis isn’t a very good quarterback and you should probably try to find someone else.

Detroit Lions

You love an underdog story, and this might actually be your moment. After years of suffering, you’re finally having fun—and no one deserves it more.

Green Bay Packers

Openverse

You’ve had 30 years of elite quarterback play, so you have no idea what true suffering feels like. But now that you’re in the Jordan Love era, you’re less sure about how things will fare.

Miami Dolphins

Miami Dolphins

You love speed, style, and a good throwback jersey. You also believe that this might be the year the Dolphins finally make noise in the playoffs. If only Tua can just stay healthy.

Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles
Openverse

You have a blue-collar, no-nonsense attitude, and you’re probably yelling about something right now. You also think everyone outside of Philly is against you (and honestly, you might be right).

You’ve learned to expect disappointment but still hope for the best. You also know your team will find a way to lose in the most heartbreaking way possible.

New Orleans Saints

New Orleans Saints
Openverse

You love a party, a good comeback story, and will fight anyone who disrespects Drew Brees. Also, “Who Dat” is more than just a chant—it’s a lifestyle.

Chicago Bears

Bears fans
Openverse

You live for nostalgia and probably bring up 1985 way too much. You believe Caleb Williams is a generational talent and at this point, you just want to have an average season.

Las Vegas Raiders

Raiders Fan
Openverse

You live life on the edge, embracing chaos at every turn. You probably have a take about why the tuck rule was the worst call in NFL history.

Arizona Cardinals

You believe in underdogs, even when they break your heart year after year. You probably tell yourself, “This is the year,” with just a hint of skepticism.

Kansas City Chiefs

Chiefs fans
Openverse

You either loved this team since the pre-Mahomes days or joined when they started winning. Or when Taylor Swift got involved. Either way, you know you have it good, and you’re never letting go.

New York Giants

New York Giants
Openverse

You cling to those two Super Bowl wins over the Patriots like they happened yesterday. You believe every season could be another miracle run (even when deep down, you know it won’t be).

Cleveland Browns

Browns Fans
Openverse

Loyalty runs in your blood, because let’s be honest, it has to. Your ability to endure suffering should qualify you for some kind of award.

Los Angeles Rams

Los Angeles Rams
Openverse

You’re either all in when they’re good or completely disinterested when they’re bad. Either way, you’ll remind everyone that you won a Super Bowl in 2021.

Seattle Seahawks

Seahawks fans
Openverse

You still miss the Legion of Boom and bring up Super Bowl XLVIII like it happened yesterday. Also, you will never forgive Pete Carroll for throwing on the 1-yard line.

Denver Broncos

John Elway
Openverse

You still bring up Peyton Manning’s final season like it was yesterday. You also pretend you didn’t watch every second of the Russell Wilson disaster.

Indianapolis Colts

Peyton Manning
Openverse

You either swear by Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck and refuse to acknowledge anything else. Your biggest personality trait is waiting for the Colts to get a QB who sticks around (and stays healthy).

Dallas Cowboys

You either love being the center of attention or thrive on making people mad. Every year, you say, “Super Bowl or bust,” and deep down, you really mean it.

Buffalo Bills

You know heartbreak better than most but embrace it with a table-breaking passion. You also believe that this is finally your year—because one day, it actually might be.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Raymond James Stadium

You either stuck with this team through the dark ages or joined when Brady arrived. Either way, you still act like that Super Bowl wasn’t completely unexpected.

Carolina Panthers

Carolina Panthers

You peaked during the Cam Newton MVP season, and nothing has felt the same since. Deep down, you just want some stability (and a working offensive line).

Jacksonville Jaguars

You’re here for the vibes, Duval chants, and the occasional playoff miracle. You still bring up that one AFC Championship Game run like it happened yesterday.

Washington Commanders
