January 1, NFL Faces Pressure With New Season Questions

Wyatt’s Take

• All 32 NFL teams start 2025 with doubts and high hopes.
• Key players and coaches are facing make-or-break moments.
• This season’s answers will shape who takes the Super Bowl.

The NFL kicks off a fresh year as all teams and fans wonder if this will be their year. Leaders like Jayden Daniels and Patrick Mahomes are in the spotlight, and many are saying this might finally be the season where the tables turn.

Jayden Daniels gave Washington a much-needed spark, making them believe again. Folks want to know if he can keep that fire burning or if the pressure gets to him. Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson are all gunning for another MVP title, fighting to be the league’s true top dog.

Bears fans are hoping rookie quarterback Caleb Williams can step up, especially with a respected new coach calling the shots. Still, past years promised a lot but didn’t deliver. There’s a ton of pressure on Williams and coach Ben Johnson to break the old losing cycle.

“Not many teams have as much elite talent as the Bengals.” Their star quarterback Joe Burrow threw more yards than anyone else last year, but even that and Ja’Marr Chase’s record-breaking moments couldn’t push them into the playoffs. Contract drama with top defender Trey Hendrickson isn’t helping either.

Brock Purdy and the 49ers are hoping to shake off a tough 2024 that was crippled by injuries. Even with roster losses, there’s hope now that their main players are back healthy and the schedule is easier. Still, Purdy’s big paycheck means he needs to prove the front office right—another letdown season could spell trouble.

In Dallas, the Cowboys dumped their coach after injuries and a losing year, replacing him from within. Contract drama threatens to split up key defender Micah Parsons and the front office. They’ve got new faces but the core stays the same, so fans are wondering if this group can actually get back to winning in the postseason.

If these questions don’t get answered early, expect even more drama as the year rolls on.

Don’t miss your chance to catch all the action—this season could flip the league upside down.

Every new NFL season offers hope, but it’s the grit and hard work behind the scenes that separates the dreamers from the doers in Middle America.
