Will the Chiefs dynasty continue to bring home trophies? Will Joe Burrow or Josh Allen break through? Will the Lions finally win it? Our writers and editors tried to predict the future.
Five years is an eternity in the NFL. With the average playing career under that number, the majority of the league fully turns over in that span. Consider that a stray thought for July, but the reason I’m bringing this up now is because it’s been exactly five seasons since I asked my MMQB colleagues which teams they thought would win the next five Super Bowls.
Breaking the league down into specific five-year blocks in an effort to make sweeping generalizations can be a case of cherry-picking arbitrary endpoints. It’s hard to draw too many conclusions from one five-year stretch, even if it’s the most recent period for which we have data. But it’s interesting that both of those franchises, in back-to-back seasons, built up championship-caliber cores and then imported veteran QBs to put them over the top.
Now for my surprise team. The Chargers have Justin Herbert and Jim Harbaugh. Those two alone will turn the organization into a playoff team within two years, before forming into a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Harbaugh will eventually build stout offensive and defensive lines and a productive running game to let Herbert shine in the postseason.Yes, I’m going with a Chiefs three-peat. It’s never happened in the Super Bowl era, but this Chiefs team seems uniquely qualified to become the first.
Additionally, I like the Ravens in the near term and have them breaking up two Lions wins. Lastly, anyone who doesn’t believe in the genius of Mike McDaniel is a fool. I love what he’s building, hence my selection of the Miami Dolphins as the last winner in this span. The hardest team to leave out here was San Francisco. But there’s little in the 49ers’ recent history to suggest they’ll win one. That’s harsh, but true.
No surprise the blurbs focused heavily on quarterbacks, so in looking at the 20 teams that nobody picked, I’ll again start with the QBs.
