The NFL season is fast approaching, and with it comes the anticipation of which teams will fall to defeat first. Historically, only two teams have completed a regular season without losing: the 1972 Miami Dolphins and the 2007 New England Patriots. It seems improbable that a third team will hold that honor in 2025. Every team is expected to experience a loss this season, and I’ve taken the liberty to predict when each might face their initial setback.
First Loss in Week 1
Dallas Cowboys (at Philadelphia Eagles): The Cowboys display signs of dysfunction, which leads to defeat against the reigning Super Bowl champs.
Los Angeles Chargers (vs. Kansas Chiefs in Brazil): A historic streak favors the Chiefs, making them formidable foes.
Atlanta Falcons (vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers): The Falcons, led by Michael Penix Jr., will struggle against last year’s successful Buccaneers team.
Cleveland Browns (vs. Cincinnati Bengals): The Browns face a tough challenge despite a solid defensive lineup.
Indianapolis Colts (vs. Miami Dolphins): Poor offensive performance is expected for the Colts against Miami.
New Orleans Saints (vs. Arizona Cardinals): The Cardinals seem poised to dominate a rookie quarterback.
Las Vegas Raiders (at New England Patriots): A long journey might hinder the Raiders’ performance against a newly fortified Patriots defense.
New York Jets (vs. Pittsburgh Steelers): Motivation from Rodgers could lead to a personal vendetta.
New York Giants (at Washington Commanders): The Giants face a formidable challenge right off the bat.
Carolina Panthers (at Jacksonville Jaguars): Jaguars’ new coach could lead to a victorious season opener.
Tennessee Titans (at Denver Broncos): Struggles predicted for the newly drafted quarterback.
Seattle Seahawks (vs. San Francisco 49ers): The 49ers will likely showcase their potential as Super Bowl contenders early on.
Green Bay Packers (vs. Detroit Lions): The forecast indicates the Packers might struggle against the Lions.
Los Angeles Rams (vs. Houston Texans): A weak start due to injuries could lead to early adversity for the Rams.
Baltimore Ravens (at Buffalo Bills): The Ravens could fall against a previous playoff foe.
Minnesota Vikings (at Chicago Bears): The Bears playing at home might provide a crucial edge.
