As the 2024 NFL season nears its end, several teams have already been eliminated from playoff contention, prompting a look back at their failures. The Cleveland Browns, New York Jets, and Jacksonville Jaguars are among the most notable disappointments, each facing significant challenges moving forward.
The Carolina Panthers, despite a poor record, show promise with young quarterback Bryce Young, while the Chicago Bears' decision to retain coach Matt Eberflus has backfired. The Browns' insistence on sticking with Deshaun Watson has hindered their competitiveness, and the Jaguars' struggles are attributed to head coach Doug Pederson's inability to maximize their talent.
The Las Vegas Raiders are grappling with the consequences of Antonio Pierce's hiring choices, while the New England Patriots' issues stem from general manager Eliot Wolf's roster decisions. The New York Giants are set for a quarterback change after extending Daniel Jones, and the Jets' reliance on Aaron Rodgers has proven detrimental. The Tennessee Titans face uncertainty with quarterback Will Levis, who has not lived up to expectations.
