The NFL has always been fun, but the 2026 season seems even more so. It seems like every game is important, and every rivalry is stronger than it was before. Fans are more excited, players are more focused, and coaches have more on their plates. These games aren’t just regular ones anymore. A lot of them feel like they have to win.
Rivalries are what make football so fun. When two teams with a history play each other, the energy shifts. The crowd is louder. The players hit harder. A single mistake can change the outcome of the game.
