At the start of the 2026 offseason, there was (of course) some drama surrounding the NFL, particularly regarding the report cards that the NFLPA has been releasing for all 32 teams over the last few years.

As long as you believe in yourself, anything is possible, Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold said after his side defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 to win Super Bowl LX.

A capacity-crowd of 75,000 people eventually filled the stadium for the big game.
