In New York, as the NFL season approaches, fans are buzzing with excitement about the upcoming games. Each season, there’s always a speculated chance of a team going undefeated, but history shows us that it’s incredibly rare. Only two teams in the NFL’s history have finished a regular season without a loss: the 1972 Miami Dolphins and the 2007 New England Patriots. Predictions indicate that the chances of a third team joining this elite group in 2025 are slim.
The countdown to the start of the season has begun, and one thing seems clear: every team will probably face at least one defeat. A recent analysis has taken a look at when fans can expect each team to experience their first loss. For half of the league, it’s estimated that this will happen right out of the gate – in Week 1.
Teams such as the Dallas Cowboys are expected to struggle from the start, facing the Philadelphia Eagles, the reigning Super Bowl champions. The prognosis isn’t looking good for the Cowboys as they prepare to head into this matchup. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers are set to face off against the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil. Despite the Chargers having a home-field advantage, injuries might play a significant role in this game.
Other matchups also seem daunting for some teams. The Atlanta Falcons will contend against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while the Cleveland Browns face the Cincinnati Bengals. Given past performances, these games could mark the beginning of the end for their hopes of an undefeated start.
As the season continues, other teams like the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints are facing tough competitors which may hinder their chances of remaining undefeated much longer. The Green Bay Packers will also face challenges against the Detroit Lions, with their track record against each other coming into play.
With regular-season games kicking off soon, the focus will be decision-making under pressure, tactical plays, and the overall team health as they battle through. Expect turbulence, drama, and plenty of excitement in what is set to be an action-packed season.
