Top 10 challengers to New England Patriots in 2015

[86WARD]

That segment provided the inspiration for a list of the 10 biggest challengers to the Patriots' Super Bowl crown. Might we see a rematch next February?

1. Seattle Seahawks: Russell Wilson's contract will soon transition from one of the game's biggest competitive advantages to a hindrance. As long as Pete Carroll has Wilson, Marshawn Lynch and a handful of All-Pro-caliber performers on defense, though, the road to the Super Bowl goes through Seattle.

2. Green Bay Packers: The NFC Championship Game was a gut-punch loss, but Mike McCarthy still oversees one of the deepest and most talented rosters in the NFL. With an offensive nucleus of Aaron Rodgers, Eddie Lacy and Jordy Nelson in Green Bay, the Packers remain a contender.

3. Pittsburgh Steelers: Once Martavis Bryant's presence ignited one of the league's most talented offenses, the Steelers won eight of their final 10 regular-season games. They have reason to believe they would have gone into New England in January if not for Le'Veon Bell's knee injury. Mike Tomlin's team is an impact pass rusher and a revamped secondary away from dethroning the Pats.

Neither do I. As far as I'm concerned, there is no champion this year.

1. Rules.

2. The heart wrenching breakup between Robert Kraft and Roger Goodell.

3. A Fanbase that wasn't actually aware they had a team until 2002.

4. Belichick publically acknowledging that Luke Skywalker is his son.

5. The shocking discovery that Tom Bradys parents had a son and a daughter. And that the sons name is Steve.

6. Tonya Hardings autobiographically account of how Belichick advised her to "take the next step".

7. Present day bionic breakthrough which may be able to give Roger Goodell an actual backbone.

8. Enforcement of NFL rule 7.31.a, which states: No employee of the NFL or of teams making up the NFL, may dress like a homeless person.

9. Pending lawsuit: "Patriots vs. Equador". In which third world children were deprived of their "New England Patriots World Champions" t-shirts.

10. Having to replace Offensive Center, Bryan Stork, who quit in tears because....yes....you guessed it...Tom Brady likes "soft" balls.
