Every NFL fanbase has a little edge to it—but some take things to a whole other level. We’re talking about the fans who never forget a slight, hold grudges like championship trophies, and live to remind you their team got robbed in 2006.
Petty? Absolutely. Entertaining? Always. These are the 10 NFL fanbases that have made pettiness an art form.
10. Atlanta Falcons
Falcons fans are still haunted by 28-3, and they are not above dragging others into that misery. They’ll remind you of blown leads—even if it’s not their team on the field.
9. Seattle Seahawks
From the “12s” to the Legion of Boom nostalgia, Seahawks fans stay salty about anything anti-Russ or anti-Beast Mode. They’ll hold a grudge like it’s fourth-and-inches at the goal line.
8. Baltimore Ravens
Ravens fans love a good flex and a better clapback. They will defend their team’s toughness to the bitter end and remind you that Ray Lewis would’ve handled that.
7. Dallas Cowboys
America’s Team? More like America’s Pettiest. Cowboys fans will bring up their five rings in every argument, even if none of them were alive for most of them.
6. Minnesota Vikings
Vikings fans don’t just expect heartbreak—they prepare for it, memorize it, and then weaponize it in debates. They’ll remind you they were this close so many times it hurts.
5. Cleveland Browns
Browns fans have been through it all, and they haven’t forgotten a single moment. Every small win is a huge deal, and they’ll never let you forget who doubted them.
4. Buffalo Bills
Bills Mafia is loud, proud, and petty as ever. If you so much as whisper “wide right,” they’ll dive through a folding table in protest.
3. Philadelphia Eagles
Eagles fans will fight Santa Claus, boo their own team, and then write an essay about why they were right to do it. No one holds a grudge like Philly—and they’re proud of it.
