#2: Green Bay Packers

As previously established, Green Bay is the home to the reigning regular-season MVP, Aaron Rodgers. However, he has been elite long before last year. The Packers, just like the Bills, came within inches of fighting for yet another Lombardi Trophy before the Tom Brady-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers (who went on to win Super Bowl LV) got in the way.

The veteran Rodgers will be returning in 2021 with seemingly no implication of slowing down and will be facing the Steelers in Lambeau Field, which is easily one of the toughest atmospheres to visit in all of the NFL.

One will probably start to realize around here that the biggest threats to Pittsburgh will be high-quality offensive regimes, which was a leading cause in their early demise to Cleveland in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs last January.
