There are five new regimes across the NFL this season—Jonathan Gannon in Arizona, Shane Steichen in Indianapolis, DeMeco Ryans in Houston, Sean Payton in Denver, and Frank Reich in Carolina.

June 16, 2023Which teams are actually trying to win the Super Bowl?
The fundamental goal for an NFL team is obvious: win the Super Bowl. But just as obvious is the fact that not every team is a realistic contender. For some teams, taking necessary steps along the path to contention is more important than actively trying to win the Super Bowl. So on this episode of The Athletic Football Show, Robert Mays and Nate Tice ask and answer one simple question of all 32 NFL teams...are you really trying to win the Super Bowl this year?
