As the 2020-2021 season approaches, Touchdown Actu helps you choose your side.
Whether you are totally new to the world of US football, with some basic knowledge or looking for a team after a fan disappointment, we are here to guide you.
You’re brand new to the NFL world
You barely know what the NFL is, and you’re there because one of your best friends convinced you to get started. The notions of touchdown or yards after reception are still unclear for you? Very well, we must therefore go to the essentials for this first season.
The Kansas City Chiefs are the team for you. Defending champions, the Chiefs have the league’s co-best quarterback, attractive play, a great coach and very high quality players in defense. So you are going to see great things from both sides of the ball every week and on top of that you should have the opportunity to see them until late in the season. Join their ranks before they win it all.
You vibrate for the aerial game
Your thing is passing, watching the leather spin in the air and marveling at impossible landings. For 2020, one team is particularly to follow: the Arizona Cardinals. Led by quarterback Kyler Murray, the Cards have everything they need to shine this season.
A coach who makes his team the one playing the most snap with at least 4 receivers lined up, the arrival of DeAndre Hopkins, the emergence of Kirk and Isabella and the eternal Larry Fitzgerald. Look no further, they are the ones who must be joined for the air jousts.
You like power and road rollers
Direction Baltimore for you! With the Ravens you will get your money and your time every Sunday. From physical contact and a team that rolls over its opponents to the race program. With 206 yards last year on the ground per game (against 144 for the 2nd), the Ravens were by far the number 1 of the season.
And that shouldn’t change in 2020 with Lamar Jackson, Mark Ingram and the reinforcement of JK Dobbins.
You don’t watch your line
You are there for the beautiful actions, the skills players and the intercepted passes. What happens in the trenches does not interest you. Guard and defensive tackle don’t mean much to you. No problem, we’ve got you covered.
Let yourself be tempted by the Seattle Seahawks. A franchise that does not attach particular interest to its lines and prefers that you succumb to the charms of the DK Metcalf tank and the magic tricks of Russell Wilson.
You are a history student
Traditions, history, the glorious past are important things to you. Luckily, the NFL has two franchises to tempt you: the Pittsburgh Steelers or the San Francisco 49ers.
On the left (AFC), the Steelers, 6 Super Bowls won, a franchise founded in 1933, legendary players every decade and a tradition of loyalty with only 3 coaches since 1969! Add to that, an “industrial” affiliation with the city of Pittsburgh and references to blue collar workers, former glories of the United States.
On the right (NFC), the 49ers, 5 Super Bowls won, founded in 1946 and a golden period around the 80s. Mythical names (Rice, Montana, Young), iconic colors and a nickname known to all. With that, the mythical reference to the Gold Rush, one of the most legendary pages in American history.
Your thing is summer hits
” Are you coming for vacation ? “And” Liberated Woman “are titles that evoke summer nostalgia in your home? Shamelessly, do you like humming those summer hits?
Look no further, we have ours in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Franchise often snubbed in the media, Tampa took its revenge with an XXL summer: the signing of legendary quarterback Tom Brady, the comeback of Rob Gronkoswki, the revenge operation of Leonard Fournette … In short, the Buccaneers have been in all the media and all the heads in this slack period.
It remains to be seen whether this summer hit will remain one or become a classic.
You like anonymity
“Let’s live in hiding to live happily” is your philosophy of life. You are therefore looking for a team that makes its living without being particularly interested in it.
Touchdown Actu invites you to keep an eye out for the Tennessee Titans.
Yes, last year this team showed up but for the first time in how long? And then the bad tongues are already saying that the team will regain its anonymity in 2020 … In any case in France, do not worry you will not need to talk to many people, no one is really interested in the Titans (and sorry for their few fans).
You are in the second year of medicine
The “hardest” is for you. You will finally have some time to devote to other than preparing for the first year exams. However, studying medicine is long and time-consuming, so you might as well combine the useful with the pleasant.
For that, nothing better than to direct you towards the Philadelphia Eagles. Why ? Because in recent seasons, the Eagles have been a real gold mine for an apprentice doctor to revise his classics. Injuries galore and on all parts of the body, tears, twists, etc. You will undoubtedly even have the opportunity to understand your future specialty. Cool.
You are rather before or 3rd half
For you the match is not so important. You are there to share before or after moments with other fans. Moments that smell of frying oil and hops, among other things.
As for the fiesta, we invite you to go to Buffalo and the Bills. Fans of the Bills are among the most famous for the rituals around the game. You will undoubtedly find your happiness with them.
Special mention to Raiders fans, but we are waiting for the new acclimatization in Vegas to judge …
