From Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills chasing their first Super Bowl to Lamar Jackson’s Ravens running out of chances, longtime football commentator Peter Klein is breaking down the Top 5 NFL teams under the MOST pressure this season.  Pressure looks different for every team — for the Bears and Jaguars, it’s about proving their young QBs are franchise saviors. For the Rams, it’s about winning before Matthew Stafford’s window closes. And for the Bills and Ravens? It’s Super Bowl or bust.  Who do YOU think is under the most pressure in 2025?

00:00Let's look at the five teams that just need it the most.

00:03The five teams under the most pressure in the 2025 NFL season.

00:13Who needs it the most in the NFL this year?

00:17Let's break it down as we continue our 2025 NFL previews.

00:22Honorable mention goes to the Detroit Lions.

00:25I put honorable mention here because this is easily the best stretch this franchise has had

00:29in my lifetime and probably beyond.

00:31So it is tough to say, man, win more because who knows, right?

00:37But they've been so close for so long.

00:39They have a lot of losses in the coaching department and on that offensive line.

00:43But this is still a team that has been close enough for a while

00:46that I think there is pressure for them to take that next step

00:48and at least play for a Super Bowl.

00:51But because of the low nature of the bar that they've had to clear for the last little bit,

00:57I don't think that pressure is on them.

00:59Just quite yet to the level of some of these other teams.

01:02So coming in at number five is the Chicago Bears.

01:05And now pressure means different things for different teams.

01:08As I said, kind of in the open of this.

01:10For the Bears, I think there is an immense pressure to take a giant step forward this year.

01:15They made a move that everyone applauded as this giant thing that they were able to make this big splash.

01:22Trading picks with Carolina.

01:24And look at that.

01:25They've ended up with Caleb Williams.

01:27Well, then year one happened.

01:28And this guy who was the most hyped prospect that we had had since Andrew Luck, Trevor Lawrence,

01:33whatever delineation you wanted to put on.

01:36This was a Heisman Trophy winner coming out of USC that everyone had pegged for a year

01:41as the number one overall pick.

01:44And it didn't go great in year number one.

01:46I think there is incredible pressure in Chicago to make this look significantly better than what it did a season ago.

01:55So is it Super Bowl or bust in Chicago?

01:58I don't think so.

01:58But is the pressure on them probably greater than a lot of other teams in the league?

02:04I would say yes, it is.

02:06At number four, it is the LA Rams.

02:09A recent Super Bowl champion.

02:10So again, that pressure not necessarily as much.

02:13This one is more a race against time with their quarterback, Matthew Stafford.

02:18And you are already seeing the signs of aging with Stafford having the back problems here in training camp.

02:24But this is a team that still, I think that they recovered really well after championship year.

02:30They sold a lot of draft picks to make that push to get to that level.

02:34You would think there would be a bit of a falling off and there was a touch of one.

02:37But they, scouting, developing, everything, they found a few diamonds in the rough

02:43and did a great job of rebuilding specifically that defense.

02:46But then finding the next wave on offense with Kyron Williams and Puka Nakua.

02:50So I don't think that if once Matthew Stafford leaves, it is going to be the Patriots turning

02:56to Jacoby Brissett and Mac Jones.

02:58But I do think that there is pressure to still win while you have that guy as your quarterback

03:04and try to take advantage of that instead of, well, maybe Jimmy Garoppolo or we'll find something.

03:10So I think there's some pressure on them.

03:11At number three, it's kind of similar to the Chicago Bears.

03:14I have the Jacksonville Jaguars.

03:16I don't think the pressure is necessarily on the coach.

03:18He's a first time coach.

03:20The GM probably.

03:22Well, no, first time GM there, or new GM there anyway.

03:24But the pressure's on Trevor Lawrence.

03:28Again, like we talked about how Caleb Williams was the most hyped whatever.

03:31Trevor Lawrence was can't miss.

03:33This was as stone cold of a lock to come in and not just play well, but to change a franchise

03:38that we had had in a really long time.

03:41And it hasn't worked.

03:42And you can very much make the compelling arguments that he has not been given the offensive

03:47line or the weapons to help support him.

03:49But I take you back to his draft time and that wasn't supposed to matter with him.

03:55Is that an unfair bar to set?

03:56You're gosh darn right it is.

03:58But this guy was supposed to be transformative for Jacksonville and it just hasn't been.

04:04So this is, I don't think they've given him enough again going into this season, but this

04:10is a year that I think it has to turn around there or else serious, serious questions are

04:14going to be asked about the future of Trevor Lawrence.

04:17I think a lot of people have already written him off.

04:19This is going to be kind of the last dance here for me with him.

04:22The next two are in the Super Bowl or bust category.

04:25It's the Baltimore Ravens.

04:26They are under significant pressure for the upcoming NFL season.

04:30When you look at having Lamar Jackson, this whole era of Lamar Jackson football and trying

04:36to make a run toward a championship.

04:37And every time it seems like they get close, either, well, it's a lot of times fumbles around

04:42the goal line, to be perfectly honest.

04:44And that ends up being the dagger for them.

04:47They have come close.

04:48They have had elite talent for a while.

04:49Last year kind of felt like it was the chance for them, given how good they played in the

04:54regular season.

04:55It didn't happen.

04:56But that pressure, I think, is really starting to mount for this team to break through in

05:02a real big time way, whether it be past the Chiefs, the Bengals, or the team that's number

05:07one on this list, the Buffalo Bills.

05:09As Josh Allen gets them to an AFC championship game, they had the ball with an opportunity to

05:15strike against Kansas City, and they couldn't quite pull it off.

05:18Not Josh Allen's fault.

05:19I'm not saying, like, he does not have the pressure, I guess, that some of these guys

05:22do, where it's like, boy, is this guy going to figure it out?

05:24He's one of the best quarterbacks in the league, like, number one or two or three, depending

05:30on where you're at.

05:31I guess some may have him for.

05:32But this is genuinely one of the best players in the league, in Josh Allen.

05:36And they've had him there for a while, and don't have a Super Bowl appearance to show

05:40for it.

05:41But I feel like the pressure is really going to start to mount on Buffalo, if it is another

05:47trip to the Super Bowl for Kansas City, another disappointing playoff loss.

05:51I feel like the Buffalo Bills are the team this year that has the most pressure on them

05:56in the National Football League.

05:59Let me know your thoughts.

06:00Am I out to lunch in thinking that Buffalo has all of that pressure on them?

06:04Let me know.
