Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports shared thoughts on Monday about NFL teams that will miss the postseason after reaching the dance in 2020. Among those teams are the Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, Tennessee Titans, New Orleans Saints, and Pittsburgh Steelers. For various reasons — from Aaron RodgersGate to Ben Roethlisberger’s gradual decline — those teams are slated to disengage in mid-January activities.
Then there are the squads that will replace the fall-from-grace teams. Per La Canfora, those franchises include Los Angeles Chargers, Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, and New England Patriots. Those teams are led by young quarterbacks — or at least a transitional plan to a youthful passer — so the trend here is excitement and optimism at QB1.
