Ranking all 32 NFL Super Bowl contenders from Micah Parsons’ Packers to laughable Miami Dolphins

Fifteen teams are still undefeated after the first weekend of a new NFL season.
But only one franchise can win Super Bowl LX, and the Kansas City Chiefs are already 0-1.
A new world champion will be crowned on February 8, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
“I’m picking the Ravens to win the Super Bowl,” Will Gavin said on talkSPORT’s NFL Show.
“It’s time for Lamar Jackson to turn from MVP to Super Bowl MVP.”
That didn’t happen in Week 1, thanks to a historic comeback by Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills, which saw Jackson have to fend off a fan in the stands.
Below, talkSPORT looks at all 32 NFL teams entering Monday Night Football between the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears.
Some fanbases have a legitimate chance at winning Super Bowl LX.
Other supporters are downright delusional, and they’re better off preparing for the 2026 NFL Draft.
32. Miami Dolphins (0-1 record)
Trading Tyreek Hill might be the best option for the Dolphins, who were overmanned by Daniel Jones.
Other than Jerry Jones, Miami was the biggest loser of Week 1.
31. New York Giants (0-1)
The Giants’ best hope is handing the keys to Jaxson Dart.
With New York reportedly preventing Dart from speaking to the media, it’s obvious where this is going.
Russell Wilson is almost toast, and Dart will soon receive the call.
30. Carolina Panthers (0-1)
Bryce Young lost another game, and the Panthers were shredded in Week 1.
While Jacksonville took a much-needed step forward, the Panthers looked like they’re already preparing for the draft.
29. Tennessee Titans (0-1)
Cam Ward completed 12 passes and threw for 112 yards.
He was also sacked six times and posted a 54.5 passer rating.
The overlooked No. 1 pick looked like a third-rounder in Week 1.
28. New Orleans Saints (0-1)
New Orleans made it interesting on Sunday.
The Saints also committed 13 penalties for 89 yards and watched Arizona hold the ball for almost 34 minutes.
Spencer Rattler misfired 19 passes, which means that Tyler Shough isn’t far behind.
27. New England Patriots (0-1)
It was a bad beginning for Mike Vrabel back in New England.
The Patriots allowed Geno Smith to throw for 362 yards, while leading New England rusher TreVeyon Henderson had five carries for 27 yards.
No wonder the Pats started 0-1.
26. Cleveland Browns (0-1)
Joe Flacco was solid but the Browns handed Joe Burrow a Week 1 win.
If Cleveland needs a month to win a game, it’ll be time for Dillon Gabriel, and then the Shedeur Sanders watch will really be on.
25. New York Jets (0-1)
New York is 1-0 with a better defense.
Justin Fields also must be better down the stretch.
He was all over the pocket on Sunday and still tries to run too much.
24. Indianapolis Colts (1-0)
Kudos to Daniel Jones on the early win, but Indy needs consistency to climb higher.
23. Las Vegas Raiders (1-0)
The Raiders are already playing with more energy under 73-year-old Pete Carroll.
22. Chicago Bears (0-0)
The Caleb Williams watch is on.
He was good as a rookie — but he was also outplayed by Jayden Daniels, and rarely looked like a true No. 1 pick.
Chicago has a new head coach in Ben Johnson, and that might be the trick for Williams in year two.
21. Atlanta Falcons (0-1)
Michael Penix Jr. made the Falcons worth watching, and he’s the new answer in Atlanta.
Get used to the bench, Kirk Cousins.
20. Seattle Seahawks (0-1)
Sam Darnold threw for 150 yards.
Hopefully Seattle kept its $100 million receipt.
19. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-0)
The Jags looking like a well-rounded team with 2025 upside was an even bigger story than Travis Hunter‘s NFL debut.
18. Dallas Cowboys (0-1)
Jerry Jones went out of his way to put the Cowboys in a hole.
This isn’t a Super Bowl year, again, for Dallas.
17. Houston Texans (0-1)
The Texans’ offense has been lollygagging for two seasons.
C.J. Stroud had every right to call out his teammates.
16. Arizona Cardinals (1-0)
Arizona is one to watch with a healthy Kyler Murray at quarterback.
15. Minnesota Vikings (0-0)
In the NFL, it all comes down to your starting QB, and the Vikings are living proof.
In J.J. McCarthy the Vikings have new hope, and Minnesota fans are banking on the national champion from Michigan becoming a franchise QB.
14. San Francisco 49ers (1-0)
Brock Purdy has 265 million reasons to be happy.
The 49ers won a tough one on Sunday, and followed Purdy’s lead.
13. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0)
Aaron Rodgers finally had his big New York moment.
12. Los Angeles Rams (1-0)
It was only Week 1, but the Rams could look back to their tough win over the Texans as a turning point.
11. Los Angeles Chargers (1-0)
The most impressive victory of the first week occurred in Brazil.
The Chargers flew a long way to turn the Chiefs into a YouTube loser.
10. Detroit Lions (0-1)
Where is Ben Johnson when Jared Goff needs him?
9. Denver Broncos (1-0)
It wasn’t pretty, but it was the season-opening victory that Sean Payton and Bo Nix needed after the Chiefs started 0-1 in the same division.
8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0)
Baker Mayfield brings the fun.
He also engineered another victory, and reminded NFL fans how tough Tampa Bay can be.
7. Cincinnati Bengals (1-0)
The Bengals’ defense is still concerning but all that mattered was the win for Joe Burrow in Week 1.
6. Kansas City Chiefs (0-1)
The Chiefs barely deserve to be this high.
Patrick Mahomes needs to give Tyreek Hill a call.
5. Washington Commanders (1-0)
Jayden Daniels looked like the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year in year two.
4. Green Bay Packers (1-0)
Micah Parsons got the win that Dallas couldn’t, then took a shot at the Cowboys.
3. Baltimore Ravens (0-1)
Is John Harbaugh holding Baltimore back in big games?
2. Philadelphia Eagles (1-0)
Not even lightning could get in the Eagles’ way.
1. Buffalo Bills (1-0)
Josh Allen, the 2024 NFL MVP, was the MVP of Week 1 of a new season.
