3 NFL Teams Poised to Make a Playoff Push in 2024

With the NFL Draft over and training camp on the horizon, the anticipation for the upcoming NFL season is heating up. Rosters are almost set, so it is now time for me to predict three sleeper teams that could potentially make a playoff run in 2024.


1. Chicago Bears

The first team I think can make an unexpected playoff run in 2024 is the Chicago Bears. Now, i know, we haven't seen Caleb Williams play a snap in the NFL. However, if we look at the Bears' roster, there is nothing else a rookie QB could possibly ask for. The Bears have arguably the best WR trio in the NFL and a solid coaching staff. The Bears' defense is also on the verge of being elite. The NFC is weaker than it has been in past years, so if Caleb Williams can perform in year 1, the Bears could definitely make some playoff noise.

 

2. Houston Texans

The second team I believe can make an unexpected playoff run is the Houston Texans. Many people have the Houston Texans going to the Divisional Round or AFC Championship. Well, I have them going even further. With the new addition of Stefon Diggs, I believe CJ Stroud will have the weapons and offensive firepower to be a legit Super Bowl contender. Don't get me wrong- the AFC is VERY strong this year. However, if Will Anderson and the Texans defense have another big year, I could see the Houston Texans going as far as the Super Bowl.



 

3. Atlanta Falcons

Atlanta Falcons playoff run

The Atlanta Falcons are the third team I believe can make an unexpected playoff run. They did surprise many analysts this year when selecting QB Michael Penix Jr. at Number 8 overall, due to the recent signing of QB Kirk Cousins. However, I do believe the Falcons have all the pieces needed to make a playoff run. Kirk Cousins will have all the weapons he needs on the offensive side of the ball, so if the Falcons can keep up their elite-level defense, they should have a legit shot in the NFC.


Most likely to make playoff run?
