5 NFL teams poised for a fall in 2016
By John Buhler
With the 2016 NFL season schedules being released on Thursday night, here are the five NFL teams that are most likely going to stumble in 2016.
At the end of the month, the NFL will have completed the 2016 NFL Draft. Outside of the roster shakeups that are inevitably coming during NFL training camp and preseason, we’ll have a better idea of what NFL rosters will look like at month’s end.
That being said, is it too early to tell which teams are poised to rise in 2016 and which ones are going to fall? For a team to rise, usually several important players on that roster elevate to another level, that team catches a few scheduling breaks, and maybe a new voice in the locker room via a coaching staff change can ignite a season of great turnaround.
On the other side of that notion, teams that are on the fall typically under huge roster turnover, see their former star players decline in productivity, have to deal with any number of injuries, and aren’t graced with a comforting slate of regular season games.
The NFL has had great parity over the years and 2016 will again be no different. With so many teams looking like they are on the rise, here are five teams that are poised to be on the fall in 2016 for any number of reasons.
