Every year, just before the season, I write a column about how every NFL team is capable of winning the Super Bowl. We spend so much time talking about how five or six favorites are going to win the championship when history tells us each season is more wide open than it seems. Usually, I say that ... and the Super Bowl ends up as Tom Brady facing a team with a young superstar quarterback.
Last year, though, was the quintessential example of how we can't write anybody off before the season begins.
