With the season in the rearview mirror, Yahoo Sports’ Jason Fitz looks ahead to the most important stories for next season – from Joe Burrow’s quest to get some help, to how the Chiefs respond to a stunning Super Bowl loss and what’s next for some of the most notable quarterbacks in the league.
The Eagles have taken the Lombardi Trophy, which means we now get to look ahead to the 2025 season already with the five biggest storylines coming in at number 5.
Will Burrow get any help?
We watched an MVP caliber season this year get wasted.
We’ve seen the offensive firepower year in and year out.
Heck, we know that he can beat Mahomes, but none of that matters if the Bengals don’t get a defense, which they can’t seem to do.
Will they continue to fail.
Incredible quarterback in at number 4.
Speaking of failing, will the failures of the Bills and the Ravens start to crumble those teams under the pressure of Kansas City?
Yes, the Chiefs just lost the Super Bowl, which means we’re all going to presume that there’s now an open window.
But if you’re the Bills and the Ravens hearing this every single year, the pressure only mounts with every single failure.
In at number 3.
Speaking of the Chiefs, did we just make them mad?
What’s the reaction going to be to Super Bowl hangover.
Is there a real blueprint now?
Is everybody going to try and get a defensive line like Philly?
Easier said than done.
Is this going to be the sort of thing that charges and engages the Chiefs at a different level?
Will Kansas City come back with the fire in their belly that makes them even tougher to take down?
It’ll be interesting to see how they react to this sort of a blowout loss.
Now that loss came to our #2 talking point, which is Philadelphia.
Frankly, let’s make this about encores.
To me the.
The second biggest storyline is the encore of Jayden Daniels and what that’s gonna mean for Washington in a division where the encore of the Philadelphia Eagles looks like it could be spectacular.
They got tons of cap E’s going into this situation.
They’ve got a very young roster.
They’ve got a coach everybody believes in now suddenly, and they’ve got a GM that’s proven himself to be one of the best in the league.
The question everybody’s already asking is Philly going to be the next dynasty, and that is an important thing to.
People look out on and the top story line as always for every offseason going into every season is quarterback Carousel, big names, not sure they’re great quarterbacks, but they’re gonna be big names everywhere.
Aaron Rodgers, Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones, Cam Ward, Shadoor Sanders.
We’re talking about at least 5 names off the top of our heads that are likely going to be starting somewhere and how all of these names trickle out will play a huge part in how the rest of the league looks going into 2025.
