What If Every NFL Team Was A Car?
The NFL season is here, which means Sundays are about to be filled with touchdowns, heartbreaks, and plenty of armchair coaching. But while fans argue about rosters, play calls, and Super Bowl odds, we couldn’t help but look at the league through a different lens—cars.

Every franchise has a personality, a history, and a reputation that matches perfectly with something on four wheels. From timeless classics to modern machines, from overhyped flops to unstoppable juggernauts, here’s what every NFL team would be if it were a car.
Arizona Cardinals – Mazda MX-5 Miata
Small, scrappy, and fun to watch when it’s on point. But in a league of heavyweights, it rarely feels like a true contender.
Atlanta Falcons – Pontiac Aztek
Ambitious design, big gamble, and everyone remembers the collapse more than the highs. Just like that infamous Super Bowl meltdown.
Baltimore Ravens – 2024 Cadillac Escalade V
Luxury meets brute force. Refined yet capable of blowing the doors off anyone—mirroring a defense-first franchise with a highlight-reel quarterback.
Buffalo Bills – Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
Snow-ready, rugged, and adored by its loyal base. Perfect for upstate winters, but can struggle on the highway to the big game.
Carolina Panthers – 2005 Chrysler Crossfire
Cool debut, sleek design, and even made it to the spotlight once. But it faded fast and now feels like a forgotten experiment.
Chicago Bears – Ford Mustang
A classic with deep roots in American history. Revolutionary in its day, but modern versions struggle to recapture the original’s aura.
Cincinnati Bengals – Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat
Loud, aggressive, and decked out in stripes. Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase are pure supercharged muscle.
Cleveland Browns – AMC Gremlin
Oddball charm but plagued by bad engineering. A cult following keeps hope alive, but the letdowns keep piling up.
Dallas Cowboys – Ford F-150
Big, bold, and marketed as “America’s favorite.” Popular everywhere you look, critics hate that it's capable.
Denver Broncos – Ford Bronco
This one is obvious. The name is legendary, and the return is pure hype. Still sorting through reliability issues, but nostalgia keeps fans on board.
Detroit Lions – Chrysler PT Cruiser
It’s been the butt of jokes for decades, but lately, it’s getting a retro-cool resurgence. Dan Campbell has this ride looking tougher.
Green Bay Packers – VW ID. Buzz
Iconic heritage reimagined in a modern EV. Quirky with timeless charm, adored for its heritage and loyal fanbase.
Houston Texans – Chevy Malibu
It works, it’s there, and it’ll get you to work. But nobody’s putting it on a poster.
Indianapolis Colts – Chevy Impala SS
Once, the definition of cool and dominant. Still respected, but these days it feels like a shadow of its former power.
Jacksonville Jaguars – 2023 Toyota Supra
Flashy design, youthful energy, and thrilling in bursts. Still has to prove it belongs in the same conversation as other icons.
Kansas City Chiefs – Tesla Model S Plaid
Cutting-edge, absurd acceleration, and it leaves everyone else gasping. Patrick Mahomes is instant torque personified.
Las Vegas Raiders – 1969 Dodge Charger R/T
Sinister in black, loud, and unapologetic. A muscle icon with as much swagger as horsepower.
Los Angeles Chargers – Nissan Leaf
Lots of energy at the start, but somehow it always runs out of juice just when it matters.
Los Angeles Rams – Lexus LC 500
Glamorous, flashy, and tailor-made for Los Angeles. Beautiful to look at, though not always the most practical long-term.
Miami Dolphins – Chevy Corvette C8
Fast, exotic, and built for South Beach flair. A thrill ride, though still unproven on the longest road trips.
Minnesota Vikings – Saab 900 Turbo
Scandinavian heritage, quirky, and brilliant at times. But notorious for reliability issues that always seem to pop up at the wrong moment.
New England Patriots – Toyota Camry
Unstoppable for two decades—boring but brutally effective. Now that the Tom Brady engine is gone, its rivals have closed the gap.
New Orleans Saints – Chevy El Camino
Part car, part truck, part mystery—like Sean Payton’s offensive schemes with Drew Brees. Weird, fun, and surprisingly effective in its prime.
New York Giants – Lincoln Navigator
Big, stately, and full of tradition. Sometimes looks clumsy, but every once in a while, it surprises with a long playoff run.
New York Jets – Yugo GV
Every few years someone insists “this one’s different.” And every few years… it isn’t.
Philadelphia Eagles – Ford F-150 Raptor R
Aggressive, powerful, and capable of smashing anything in its path. Philly fans wouldn’t stand for anything else.
Pittsburgh Steelers – Hummer H1
Brutal, old-school, built like a tank. Once unstoppable, now a little outdated—but still respected for its toughness.
San Francisco 49ers – DeLorean DMC-12
Iconic and futuristic, with flashes of brilliance that make you believe in time travel back to the dynasty days.
Seattle Seahawks – Subaru Outback Wilderness
Quirky, practical, and perfect for the Pacific Northwest vibe. Rugged enough, though never the flashiest in the lot.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Cadillac Eldorado Convertible
Once a big, flashy ride with Tom Brady at the wheel. Now it feels like it’s back to gathering dust in the garage.
Tennessee Titans – Ram 2500 Power Wagon
Massive, rugged, and built to run you over—just like Derrick Henry on a cold Sunday.
Washington Commanders – Chrysler Sebring Convertible
Rebadged, renamed, and remodeled, but never able to escape being the punchline.
