Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders departed Oakland and became the Los Angeles Raiders from 1982-1994. However, prior to the 1995 season the Raiders returned to Oakland, where they would remain until 2020. The NFL approved the Raiders application to relocate to Las Vegas in 2017, and the team officially made it's move to the Sin City in 2020.
The Raiders have won three Super Bowls in their franchise's history. They won their first one in 1976 (Super Bowl XI) under legendary head coach John Madden. Madden was not at the helm for their next Super Bowl victories, which came in 1980 (Super Bowl XV) and 1983 (Super Bowl XVIII). The Raiders are in the AFC West division with the Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos, and Los Angeles Chargers.

Joe Milton prefers playing for the Cowboys over the Patriots
After playing sparingly for the Patriots as a rookie last season, quarterback Joe Milton was traded to the Cowboys in April. He thinks he's in a better place now. Milton said at Cowboys training camp that he and his agent orchestrated the trade so he could get a fresh start. "Definitely, I preferred it," Milton said, via the Cowboys' website. "That was something me and my team put together. They were able to get it done, I really didn't have to do much or say much. So just shout out to my agent, that's pretty much it." Milton praised Cowboys starting quarterback Dak Prescott for being a great teammate, and he suggested that wasn't the case in New England. "Dak is a great leader," Milton said. "All respect to him. He literally goes out of his way to help me, no matter if the coach is talking in the meeting, he literally goes out of his way to help. . . . I've been in another building. I know how that goes. It's just very different over here." Milton didn't mention either of the other two quarterbacks in New England last season, Drake Maye or Jacoby Brissett, by name, but he indicated that one of the things he prefers about Dallas is sharing a quarterback room with Prescott.

One NFL analyst says Steelers can win the Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers
The Pittsburgh Steelers are betting heavily on new starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers. General Manager Omar Khan has already said this team was built to win the Super Bowl this year. Not to just make the playoffs, not just to get a playoff win. This Steelers team will go exactly as far as Rodgers can take them. Rodgers will be the fourth different starting quarterback in the last four seasons for the Steelers to start a year since Ben Roethlisberger retired at the end of the 2021 season. Despite being 41 years old, at least one NFL analyst and former player believes if Rodgers plays well, the Steelers can win the Super Bowl. That would be Mark Sclereth. He talked about the Steelers on the Rick Eisen Show and said the Steelers are one of the 10 or 12 teams that can win the Super Bowl this season but it will depend on Rodgers recapturing his youth and having a big season. Rodgers threw for 229 yards per game last season with the New York Jets. Meanwhile, the Steelers quarterbacks threw for only 192 yards per game in 2024. If the Steelers are going to be a legitimate Super Bowl contender, it's going to take a monumental effort by Rodgers.
