The Packers were one of the top surprises of the 2023 season, claiming the NFC’s final wild card spot with a 9-8 record in year one of the post-Aaron Rodgers era. After crushing the Dallas Cowboys in the opening round, Green Bay gave the top-seeded San Francisco 49ers a scare but fell 24-21 in the Divisional Round.
With Love asserting himself as the new franchise star QB in Titletown, the Packers should definitely be in the mix for a Super Bowl 59 championship in 2024.
The Super Bowl 59 Field Is Wide Open
The Chiefs are obviously the team to beat entering 2024, but the field is loaded with contenders who have a realistic shot at winning Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans.
In the NFC, the San Francisco 49ers, Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles are all bonafide contenders. If Love builds off a career year, the Packers should also contend for the Lombardi Trophy.
It’s even more hectic in the AFC, where the Chiefs, Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins and New York Jets all have legitimate shots of winning it all.
