Every season, an NFL team comes out of nowhere to shock the football landscape, and here are 10 sleeper teams that could make a Super Bowl run.

The 2020 NFL season is still going to happen, and while we do not know what it will exactly look like, teams are already starting to prepare.

There are a handful of teams that are considered Super Bowl contenders heading into 2020, but as we see every year, teams rise up to surprise and put themselves into the conversation.

Here are 10 NFL sleeper teams that could make a surprise Super Bowl run.

Pittsburgh Steelers

The loss of Ben Roethlisberger hit hard last season, as the Pittsburgh Steelers failed to make the playoffs for the second straight season. Pittsburgh was able to muster an 8-8 record, and were not eliminated from playoff contention until Week 17, which is a testament to just how good a head coach Mike Tomlin is.

During the 2019 campaign, Pittsburgh swung a deal with the Miami Dolphins for Minkah Fitzpatrick, who is one of the better defensive backs in the game. He helped solidify the secondary, and with stars like Cameron Heyward and T.J. Watt on the other levels of the defense, this is a unit that should dominate in 2020.

The AFC North has been led by the Baltimore Ravens the past two seasons, but that could change this year. If Big Ben is ready to go, which he has stated he is healthier than he has been in a long time, the Steelers could go back to being the kings of the division.
