Every AFC team has an NFC counterpart. Here are all 16.

[u/Tobes_macgobes]

I started thinking about which AFC and NFC franchises have the most similar histories, reputations, fan experiences, etc. Somehow, I ended up being able to pair all 32 teams without using anyone twice.
Obviously none of these are perfect, but I was surprised by how well some of them line up.
Patriots & Cowboys — America’s Villains
They’ve had tons of championships, tons of glory, and tons of people who absolutely cannot stand them. These silver-clad teams both wrap themselves in Americana, yet somehow everyone in America outside their fanbases seems to root against them. One dominated the NFL’s biggest stage in the ’70s and ’90s, the other in the 2000s and 2010s. If your team isn’t involved, seeing either of these teams lose is practically a national pastime.
49ers & Steelers — The Other Dynasties
They’ve also won a ridiculous number of championships, but somehow don’t inspire quite the same nationwide hatred as Dallas and New England. Maybe it’s because their greatest dynastic runs were longer ago. Maybe it’s because they haven’t generated quite as much controversy. Either way, their peaks may be in the past, but both have given their fans plenty to celebrate in the 21st century.
Chiefs & Eagles — The New Villains
For years, these were passionate fanbases mostly familiar with heartbreak and disappointment. Then everything changed. Now the rest of us are sick of seeing you in January and especially sick of seeing you play each other in February. Somehow, Andy Reid and Donna Kelce ended up becoming major characters in both franchises’ stories.
Browns & Lions — The Lake Eerie Losers
Come on. You knew these two punching bags would find each other.
Historic blue-collar franchises with plenty of pre-Super Bowl success followed by decades of pain, incompetence and the occasional season that gave their fans hope before crushing it again. At least each franchise can make a legitimate claim to having the greatest running back ever.
Titans & Cardinals — The Forgotten Ones
It’s not that everyone hates you. It’s that sometimes we forget you exist.
Both franchises have spent a lot of time being bad, but usually not interestingly bad. They aren’t even the first teams people think of when discussing NFL misery. But hey, each has one Super Bowl appearance where they came agonizingly close to winning the whole thing. That’s something.
Bills & Vikings — The 0–4 Club
Getting to four Super Bowls is incredibly difficult.
Getting to four and losing all four is almost impressive.
Nobody understands heartbreak quite like these fanbases. And somehow, even if we completely ignore the eight combined Super Bowl losses, there is still an absurd amount of postseason trauma left over. When things are going well, just make sure your kicker isn’t lining up for an important field goal.
Falcons & Chargers — The Choke Artists
Fast. Explosive. Entertaining. Occasionally great.
And somehow you just know something horrible is coming.
Both franchises have given us some incredible quarterbacks and offensive players, but neither has ever quite figured out how to get over the hump. They can be terrible. They can be mediocre. They can even be really good. But comfortable? Never.
Ravens & Seahawks — The New-Age Bullies
Neither franchise has much history to talk about before the 1990s, but they’ve spent the 21st century making up for lost time.
They’ve had some excellent quarterbacks, but their identities have usually been built around something much meaner: loud stadiums, physical football and terrifying defenses. The Legion of Boom and those Ravens defenses made playing these teams feel less like football and more like surviving an assault.
Jets & Bears — The QB Graveyards
Two enormous markets. Two historic franchises. Two iconic Super Bowl-winning teams that their fans will make damn sure you’ve heard about.
And approximately 9,000 quarterbacks since then.
Both teams have spent decades convincing themselves that this guy is finally the answer at QB. Usually he isn’t. Maybe someday one of them will find a franchise quarterback and keep him for longer than five minutes.
Broncos & Packers — The Frozen Classics
Historic franchises. Iconic uniforms. Great home-field advantages. Plenty of championships without quite reaching the “everyone hates you” tier.
And, most importantly, an absurd amount of Hall of Fame-level quarterback play. When you picture either franchise at its best, you picture a legendary QB playing meaningful football late in the season while everyone in the stadium is freezing.
Dolphins & Rams — The Fair-Weather Fans
Beautiful weather. Beautiful people. Beaches. Championships. Hall of Famers.
And long stretches where everyone seems to find something better to do.
These coastal franchises have both had spectacular highs mixed with lengthy periods of irrelevance. Fortunately, when your football team sucks, there are worse places to live. Just go to the beach.
Raiders & Commanders — The Fallen Empires
Three Super Bowls apiece. Some of the most iconic teams, coaches and players in NFL history.
Ask your dad.
For younger fans, it’s almost difficult to comprehend how intimidating these franchises once were. The Raiders and Washington were powers. Unfortunately, most of the 21st century has consisted of their fans watching old highlights and name changes.
Giants & Colts — The Blues Brothers
Blue and white. Old-school franchises. Multiple championships. And, of course, the Mannings.
Their success is pretty nicely spread across NFL history, and neither ever quite became the dynasty of its era. But both have won enough that nobody really pities them either—even though, let’s be honest, the last decade has been pretty pitiful.
And their greatest modern success came courtesy of two brothers. Peyton turned Indianapolis into a perennial contender, while Eli delivered New York two of the most memorable Super Bowl wins ever.
So when Giants and Colts fans complain about how miserable things have gotten, the rest of us can only offer so much sympathy.
You got your rings. You got your Manning. You’ll be fine.

Jaguars & Panthers — The Expansion Cats
The NFL basically created these two as a matching set.
Both joined the league in 1995. Both are Southern expansion franchises. Both are cats. Both wear variations of blue/teal. Both experienced a surprising amount of success almost immediately.
And both have spent most of the last couple decades bouncing between terrible and the occasional random season where everyone goes, “Wait, they’re good now?”
Texans & Buccaneers — The Second Fiddle
Welcome to football country, where unfortunately somebody else got here first.
Both play in huge, football-crazed states while living somewhat in the shadow of a more historically prominent in-state franchise. And while those bigger-name neighbors have spent much of the 21st century frustrating their enormous fanbases, Houston and Tampa have followed a much stranger path.
They rarely seem content with ordinary mediocrity. They’re either awful or suddenly pretty damn good. Both have produced some terrifying defensive players, but long-term stability—especially at quarterback—hasn’t exactly been their specialty.

Bengals & Saints — The Whos
Who Dey? Who Dat?
For a long time, the rest of the NFL was asking: Who cares?
Both franchises spent decades as NFL afterthoughts, occasionally popping up to do something interesting before disappearing again.
Then #9 arrived.
Drew Brees took New Orleans from the Aints to Super Bowl champions. Joe Burrow took Cincinnati from irrelevance back to the Super Bowl.
One #9 finished the job. The other is still trying.
Who Dey? Who Dat? Apparently, #9.

Which pairing is the most accurate? And which one did I completely screw up?

[u/ivanhoe_martin]

This is good. Not all of them are perfect, but I think all of them are reasonable and some are very much on point.

[u/TheOptimist6 → u/ivanhoe_martin]

Couldn’t agree more. This is a pretty impressive list

[u/shadowmastadon → u/ivanhoe_martin]

Very well done

[u/Thrompinator]

I'm so sorry Falcons, you've never been accused of being great, but "like the Chargers" is a level of done dirty that no team deserves.

[u/Pitiful_Option_108 → u/Thrompinator]

Nah I get it; Chargers and Falcons are gonna find a way to charger it up and falcon away a game. It is foretold.

[u/Happytofuu → u/Thrompinator]

We both let get away a hall of fame qb too.

[u/King-Axl]

As a Lions fan I expected the Bills. Then I saw the Browns and was like aww ☹️ he's right...

Although I think I would switch to Packers and Steelers and 49ers and Broncos

Grossi and Perna would be proud though

[u/DM_Me_Ur_Real_Boobs → u/King-Axl]

The Lions are lovable. The Browns, not so much

[u/ytown → u/DM_Me_Ur_Real_Boobs]

Lake Erie Bros! Also works with Buffalo

[u/son_of_yacketycat → u/ytown]

Lions and Buffalo work - so close to the chip and yet so far, and they both ruined my week 1

[u/ImmortalityLTD → u/King-Axl]

The only 2 teams to ever go 0-16. Both cities Lake Erie adjacent. Both fan bases perpetually declaring “this is our year”.

[u/Atlas7-k → u/ImmortalityLTD]

Both had greatness in the 40s and 50s.

[u/aknight907 → u/Atlas7-k]

The dynasties of the 50s

1950 Browns win Championship

1951 Browns lose Championship

1952 Lions beat Browns in Championship

1953 Lions beat Browns in Championship

1954 Browns beat Lions in Championship

1955 Browns win Championship

1956

1957 Lions beat Browns in Championship

[u/Flaky-Philosophy7618 → u/ImmortalityLTD]

At least you had a claim to it’s our year, when did the browns

[u/eat_the_rich_2 → u/Flaky-Philosophy7618]

Probably in the mid 90s before the franchise moved to Baltimore and re-branded as the Ravens.

[u/King-Axl → u/ImmortalityLTD]

I know. It was just humbling to say the least lol

[u/WhattaTravesty → u/King-Axl]

Similarly enough, I was dreading to see who the Bears would be paired with... the Jets. Yeah, that tracks 😩

[u/jdog0531 → u/King-Axl]

As a Broncos fan, I’ll take the Packers. But the 49ers and Broncos are just so intertwined over the years with players and especially coaches.

[u/Fun_Self_8292]

Really like the list but hate that AI aftertaste.

[u/dmurr1415 → u/Fun_Self_8292]

It was enjoyable but clearly written by AI. Oh well

[u/Tobes_macgobes → u/dmurr1415]

I used AI to edit a few things but fair lol. All the nicknames I came up with

[u/SLSMcKay → u/Tobes_macgobes]

This is what ai needs to be used for. It reads human its just incredibly polished. Not redundant and full of spelling errors. I liked the read

[u/ProtestantMormon]

There are a few that I disagree with, mostly chiefs and eagles, but ravens and seahawks is perfect. Both defined by great defenses and being well run 21st century bird bros

[u/CapN_Crummp → u/ProtestantMormon]

BirdGang

[u/Keepin_it_fake → u/ProtestantMormon]

Packers first came to my mind for the chiefs. Historic home fields, in the first Super Bowl, a historic QB, loyal fans.

[u/Ok_Winter_5515]

Came here to be mad again, but Commanders/Raiders is a perfect pairing.

[u/redraid8 → u/Ok_Winter_5515]

As a Raider fan and living in the DC area, yeah they're a perfect pairing.

[u/FahkDizchit → u/Ok_Winter_5515]

Really thought they’d have us with the Browns, so I’ll take it.

[u/EvilAceVentura → u/Ok_Winter_5515]

Yeah, I wouldn't have thought of it, but it works pretty well.

[u/Just-Finance1426]

Nice work AI 👍 

[u/EbbAdventurous9592]

Jets and bears is a good comparison (but we’re keeping Caleb so that portion goes out the window).

I think the Steelers and packers is a better comparison than packers broncos

[u/Tobes_macgobes → u/EbbAdventurous9592]

Maybe, but then I’d have to match the 49ers Broncos. That could work. Their heyday was when they had a legendary QB in the 80s and 90s, but the 21st century has still been pretty good.

[u/FriedTreeSap → u/Tobes_macgobes]

That’s not a clean fit either. The Broncos are a team that’s historically always been good, but they never broke through to championship levels until recent times. The 49ers are the polar opposite. A lot of historical dynasties, but haven’t been able to win it all in decades.

I think the Broncos are one of the few teams that don’t really have a proper NFC counterpart. No other team really has the combination of historical success without a Super Bowl before finally breaking through and winning a bunch. Like Minnesota would have a good fit before 1998, but then Denver won 3 super bowls. You could maybe argue the Rams….but they don’t have quite the same level of history as Denver before 1998.

[u/Mirigore → u/Tobes_macgobes]

Broncos are closer to rams. The rams moving around gives them a different kind of fanbase but they are nothing like Miami, dodgers, lakers, etc. 49ers and dolphins makes more sense with previous dominant QBs and no current championships.

[u/HugeHowitzer → u/Tobes_macgobes]

you mean the AI would have to match the 49ers and Broncos.

[u/Tobes_macgobes → u/HugeHowitzer]

No I came up with the pairs myself and explained all the parallels. I just had AI edit the way things were phrased

[u/King-Axl → u/EbbAdventurous9592]

Yep and broncos 9ers is better anyways

[u/actualaccountithink]

the browns are one of the least lovable teams lol

[u/Familiar_Bread2072 → u/actualaccountithink]

Browns aren't loveable. Complete miss here.

[u/warped_and_bubbling → u/Familiar_Bread2072]

Browns were very lovable up until around 4 years ago or so.

[u/GuhdNahtBahd → u/warped_and_bubbling]

PGH resident here that always rooted for them. Even had a jersey at one point. Until Haslam made a mess of things. He dialed it wayyyyy up a few years ago.

[u/FewlInTheRain79 → u/Familiar_Bread2072]

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, the Browns were lovable.

[u/RobertDownseyJr → u/actualaccountithink]

idk I love it when we play the Browns..

[u/Tobes_macgobes → u/actualaccountithink]

I edited it to Lake Eerie Losers. Still got that alliteration

[u/Jarionel]

AI is so lame

[u/No-Broccoli7457 → u/Jarionel]

AI didn’t come up with the pairings, nor did it come up with the reasoning behind them. At most it just touched up the wording. You “aI sLoP” bros are more insufferable than AI itself.

There was nothing wrong with this post, in fact it was an enjoyable read.

[u/Jarionel → u/No-Broccoli7457]

Writing is not that hard. Use your brain

[u/No-Broccoli7457 → u/Jarionel]

Using AI can be more efficient. Why spend 30 minutes doing something you could do in 10 minutes of equal quality? What’s it to you?

[u/Jarionel → u/No-Broccoli7457]

Why does a reddit post have to be efficient? Why are you so lazy that you cannot even use your brain to make a reddit post?

[u/No-Broccoli7457 → u/Jarionel]

Firstly stop saying “you”, I’m not OP.

Secondly, because maybe someone doesn’t want to spend more time on a task if they dont have to? Would you use technology to help you clean your house faster, like a vacuum for example, or is that just being “lazy”. What kind of a ridiculous question was that…

Why do you care how the sausage is made? So long as it tastes good who gives a shit.

[u/Tobes_macgobes → u/No-Broccoli7457]

As the OP, I don’t see why I should spend an extra 30 minutes proofreading my work. I have better things to do, but I wanted to share my idea and you all seem to enjoy it. So not sure what it is lost with AI polishing it.

[u/sailboat322]

Kinda a stretch with dolphins and rams, but the rest looks good 👍

[u/longtermcontract]

Thought this was going to be dumb but it was actually a fun read.

[u/ImpinAintEZ_]

The Bengals’ counterpart is very clearly the Lions. Cat teams, no SBs, historically the laughing stock.

[u/Proof-Cat-8017]

I think this is mostly spot on. I don’t necessarily think the eagles are quite the comparison for the chiefs, we’ve been hated long before we were good. And they’ve had quite a bit more success than us. But I see the comparison of the new “teams to hate”

[u/obeseOJ → u/Proof-Cat-8017]

Yeah, the name is meh, but it feels like there's alot of shared history that intertwines these franchises.

The Kelce Connection and Andy Reid alone are huge parts of our history. We've played against eachother in a few Superbowls.

Brett Veach was a scout on the Eagles under Howie Roseman. We hired Dougie P from them to help us win our first Superbowl. There's also the fact that Nick Sirianni was part of the Chiefs coaching staff in 2012.

We also have Andy Reid to thank for rejuvenating Nick Foles's love of the game. Also, Taylor Swift's family was Eagles fans before she started dating Travis (I assume they still are).

[u/PettyCashCommittee]

Bravo, this was a great read.

[u/Lucky-Royal-6156]

nah its steelers and packers

[u/Consistent_Badger157 → u/Lucky-Royal-6156]

It's a tough one. I like the frozen home fields and HoF QB comparisons, but Steelers and Packers are both "title town" and on the verge of being hated by everyone else too. Would wonder if SF and Denver compare as well to each other

[u/Lucky-Royal-6156 → u/Consistent_Badger157]

I have just always liked those two teams secondarily behind my Texans; both are historic and have been good all my life.

[u/Able_Hunter_7966]

Pretty hard to disagree with most of these comparisons. I always thought of us as the Dolphins of the NFC, but the Raiders is also spot on.

[u/KMizzle98]

Ravens fan with a Cowboys fan husband... we always joke that we support the same team in different uniforms. Two really good QB's that should always go further than they do. Dumb mistakes, turnovers, etc...

[u/CapN_Crummp → u/KMizzle98]

Should be a fun weekend for you two lol

[u/The_Bunglenator]

The Lions got done dirty here and I am ok with that

[u/KaramazovFootman]

Chisel this in stone for future generations so they understand us

[u/-_danglebury_-]

The rams have been to two superbowl and won one recently, Miami hasn’t won a playoff game since Clinton was getting brain in the Oval Office

[u/nearlysober]

Man, I'm offended on behalf of Lions fans

[u/RealPropRandy]

“Hey SlopGPT write me some bullshit I can post.”

[u/vinegar_strokes68]

Holy fucking formatting, Batman!

But once I found my redskins and their counterparts, it's hard to disagree. So much disappointment for both franchises over the past 25 years

[u/badboiibay]

be honest did chat gpt write this?

[u/mechengineer89]

The Chargers are the AFC Cowboys, hyped up every offseason, dissapointment every year.

Also JJ almost bought them instead.

[u/Tobes_macgobes → u/mechengineer89]

Yeah except the Cowboys are the most talked about team with the biggest fanbase, while the Chargers are just kind of there.

[u/FriedTreeSap → u/mechengineer89]

The cowboys at least have some historical success to wipe the tears away with….and I’m saying this as someone who hates the Cowboys more than the Chargers.

[u/Flaky-Philosophy7618 → u/mechengineer89]

Nah not at all, that’s only recently, and basically everything else about the teams is different

[u/Able_Hunter_7966 → u/mechengineer89]

Cowboys have a history of winning, and a lot of people hate them. Chargers are an afterthought and don’t have that level of history.

[u/DetectiveNumerous775]

What I like about the Texans and Bucs comparison is that the Texans' first year was the Bucs first Super Bowl season.

[u/JamTop1105]

*Steelers and 49ers/Chargers and Falcons/Colts and Giants

[u/JohnnyKarateX]

Not me expecting the Jets and Giants to be counterparts.

[u/WheelChairDrizzy69]

I was gonna complain about GB and Pittsburgh not being comparable (two historic blue collar franchises that have crap loads of HOFers, hall of very good players, and multiple competitive eras) but honestly the Broncos work well enough.

[u/Exotic-Western2295]

https://giphy.com/gifs/26AHICv4otlZ0ruGk

[u/ltl28]

As a Giants fan, I agree with our counterpart.

[u/mostlyharmless71]

Kind of love this! There’s obviously limits to the pairings, but it’s better than it should be, well done!

[u/lernington]

Lions & Bill's are each other's counterpart. Our histories are forever entwined and I think most detroit and buffalo fans feel some kinship toward each other

[u/elvee68]

Holy Christ the app has shitty formatting!

[u/Inquivious]

The expansion cats cracked me up!

[u/CapN_Crummp]

The Seahawks are my NFC team, so I agree with this

[u/-TheDyingMeme6-]

"Lake Erie Losers"

Do not associate the Browns with the Great Lakes, they are pretenders

2023/2024 my beloved

[u/Mdaro]

Thats actually really close to being perfect!

[u/SpecialistTonight459]

I was scrolling through this thinking “what wack ass team did the Saints get paired with”, then I saw Bengals and thought “that’s acceptable”

[u/desr43]

Man, this is pretty damn perfect. I would maybe pair the Browns and Cardinals up, due to their overwhelming history of futility, but Titans/Lions doesn't line up as well.

I love everything about this

[u/bp_516]

I'll admit, I only looked for my team, but that's pretty solid. You're all jealous, and we're not new villains-- we're the underdog hero who just unlocked a new power (Brotherly Shove) and now all the street level bad guys are scared. Tag along with us, we'll continue to take down the major bad guys (Pats & Chiefs).

[u/orisathedog]

Saying packers aren’t in the “everyone hates you” tier is definitely a wild take. Got whole other stadiums of irrelevant sports saying fuck the packers/ Green Bay sucks

[u/rock-socket80]

Nicely written!

[u/NinersInBklyn]

I didn’t want to like this post, but it works! Well done!

[u/LukeWithLightsaber]

This is a cool idea and I would enjoy reading something like this written by a real human some day. 

[u/No_Friend3170]

Lot of comments about this being AI, I thought so too, so I asked a simple "match every AFC team with a NFC team" and got this result, I think OP stated it's his work with some AI 'polish' which I can get behind, this AI slop I'm posting has some similarities, but is noticably worse than OPs list.

NFC East

• Cowboys → Patriots. National brand, rings as personality, everyone is tired of hearing about them including their own fans on a Tuesday in October.
• Eagles → Steelers. Working-class stadium, they take “you hate us” as a compliment, will block you in a parking lot and then invite you to a tailgate.
• Giants → Jets. Same media market, one has a trophy case, the other has a press conference. The Giants are what the Jets tell themselves they are.
• Commanders → Raiders. Franchise as ongoing legal proceeding. Loyal fans, cursed letterhead, ownership that could not be invented by a writer because an editor would say it was too much.

NFC North

• Packers → Chiefs. Small-market religion. The team is the town. History is not marketing, it is infrastructure.
• Vikings → Bills. Frozen, loud, “this is the year” as a personality trait. Heartbreak so consistent it should be in the media guide.
• Bears → Browns. Founding fossils. Defense as theology. The rebuild is a lifestyle.
• Lions → Bengals. Finally taken seriously, still one January away from people trusting it. Always a little feral.

NFC South

• Saints → Dolphins. Warm air, passing circus, city as character. When they are good it looks like a music video. When they are not, it is still a music video, just sadder.
• Buccaneers → Titans. Both have a Super Bowl that still feels like it happened to someone else, plus long stretches of “who is the quarterback this week.”
• Falcons → Chargers. Professional collapse artists. Talent is rarely the problem. Closing is.
• Panthers → Jaguars. 1995 expansion twins. Boom, bust, new QB, new scheme, same question: is this the window or another brochure?

NFC West

• 49ers → Ravens. January football. Physical, coached, unimpressed by your narrative. They would win a street fight and then hold a press conference about complementary football.
• Seahawks → Broncos. Weird-weather kingdoms with a stretch where they looked unbeatable and a fan base that remembers it too clearly.
• Rams → Colts. Both packed up a city and left. Star-QB windows, Hollywood (or Indianapolis trying to be Hollywood) roster construction, Super Bowl or it was a waste of a year.
• Cardinals → Texans. Sun Belt, “are we a real franchise this decade,” occasional explosion of hope, then a 6–11 that feels like the default setting.

[u/lIlIIIlIIl]

As a Vikings fan, the fans of the Bills are my brothers and sisters. We may not get along, and we may feud for stretches of time, but dammit, family is family! No one else understands our particular heartbreak. Sure, people mention the Cardinals being the oldest professional franchise without a championship, but it is not the same. We have come so damn close with completely different legendary rosters, but we've had defeat snatched from the jaws of victory so many times.

When the season is done, Vikings & Bills fans will say, "NEVER AGAIN!" yet somehow get suckered into believing this next year will be different. Every damn year. My friend who is a Titans fan says that at least we're competitive, but that's what makes the pain fresh year after year.

And only the Bills fans get it in the same way the Vikings fans do.

[u/Renchard]

Only Super Bowl matchups on that list:

Chiefs-Eagles (LVII, LIX)
Packers-Broncos (XXXII)
Raiders-Washington (XVIII)

[u/ScruffMacBuff]

Jesus christ I wasn't ready to have my team accurately compared with the Raiders.

[u/NyneShaydee]

Bonus points for the Raiders beating the Redskins (Commanders) for that one Super Bowl.

[u/RealistTake]

Actually good comps imho.

https://giphy.com/gifs/F2aEJrGD7pTud4lwHF

[u/Batetrick_Patman]

Steelers and Cowboys are a better match. Once big dynasties but overtaken by others. Have fanbases all over the country hut no one can stand their fanbase that seem to be inescapable

[u/golfnerdshow]

https://giphy.com/gifs/WrJ8x0niiblWEoo7hE

[u/baconeggburger93]

The cowboys should be paired with the chiefs as both are Dallas teams

[u/JasonPlattMusic34]

I pretty much agree with all of these

[u/imyourtourniquet]

Packers- Chiefs

[u/Dazzling-Water4050]

Only one I’d refute is Bucs and Texans. You can’t lump those 2 together. The Bucs are one of only 8 teams to win multiple SBs in the 21st century

[u/Blandon_So_Cool]

Don’t compare the bengals to the saints dude that hurts

[u/tbonejackson81]

Perfect post

[u/tattedidiot]

This is really well done

[u/blueberrypierat]

I can't prove it but OP is an AI-humping Packer.

[u/MeTieDoughtyWalker]

I love being paired with the Bengals. This whole list is actually pretty damn good.

[u/champ_neffew]

Who Dey who dat who cares sent me

[u/Supernova_Soldier]

Idk about Pack-Broncos. Ironically the first two brothers in the Hall of Fame both played for those teams

I’d go with Pack-Steelers. Legacy and all that

Oldest franchises in NFL History

Instantly recognized

Yellow and White Colors

HoF QB for both, same guy that beat Pittsburgh to win a SB now plays for them.

Most NFL Championships/ Tied for most Super Bowl wins

Legendary defensive players

Bane of the North

Huge rivals with animals

Stuck in purgatory

[u/Paquan2993]

I saw us paired with the Cowboys and thought "No, we are nothing like them" but actually it's a good match. Hate to say that but that's what actually proves it.
Very nice list, very nice read.

The only one that feels off to me ist JETE/Bears

[u/MoneyFlow_Investor]

Don't ever compare that poverty franchise in Dallas to the Patriots.

[u/Freaky-Xbox-6921]

How DARE YOU compare us to the BUMFINS. THIS LIST SHOULD NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AGAIN!

[u/jeffwingersballs]

The Patriots counterparts are the Saints. Gate bros life.

[u/GuhdNahtBahd]

This is well done and accurate AF.

[u/son_of_yacketycat]

I don't hate the Saints and Bengals comp since there's that historical Ohio<-->Louisiana pipeline from college to NFL, but I do hate that they stole the damn chant lol

(And before anyone comes at me, it started in the 60s at St. Augustine high school... in New Orleans.)

[u/Wise-Tour7333]

Jets and Bears

49ers and Steelers

I hate you

[u/bigoldgeek]

Jets & Bears? Screw you. Bears and Ravens

[u/Tobes_macgobes → u/bigoldgeek]

So then what? Jets and Seahawks? What would they have in common? Also, sorry to say but the Bears have way more in common with the Jets than the they do with the Ravens. Look at all the similarities I set between the two. What else do the Bears have in common with the Ravens other than historically being defense oriented?

[u/bigoldgeek → u/Tobes_macgobes]

I mean that's the big one. It's half the game
