The Titans were 7-3 after a big Thursday night win at Green Bay last season, well on their way to a third straight AFC South title. The Browns gave up the farm to get Watson, and now they need a strong return on their investments. So while they’re banking on new defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz to make a difference, they’re not getting back to the playoffs unless Deshaun Watson is dynamic and efficient in leading an offense that’s going to be tailored to Watson. The Browns have been dealing with messy quarterback situations - yes, multiple - since early in the 2021 season.

Here’s a look at trends among last year’s new playoff teams, as well as the non-playoff squads most likely to break through in 2023, according to our metrics.Ģ022’s new playoff teams in 1-score regular-season games How much is luck a factor in this? Last season, the Minnesota Vikings became the first team in NFL history to win eleven one-score games, including a 33-point comeback against the Indianapolis Colts, the largest in NFL history. In three of the last four seasons, a team has gone from out of the playoffs to the Super Bowl - the 2019 San Francisco 49ers, the 2020 Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the 2021 Cincinnati Bengals. All eight teams in the NFC West and AFC South have won a division title in the last decade. The NFC East hasn’t had a back-to-back division champion since the Eagles did it from 2001 to 2004.
