Mascot Rankings: NFL

In This Article:

The NFL is full of dozens of great players and great teams. Behind each of these teams is a mascot that can hold their own too. Instead of deciding who's the best based off the number of wins, I've ranked the teams over how likely their mascots would win in a fight. Yay!! P.S. If the team has a contrasting mascot name and mascot on the field, I'm basing it off the name, because I make the rules here.

32. Washington Football Team

https://twitter.com/PFF/status/1326159181846618112/photo/1

Mascot: Nothing but vibes I guess (as seen from the photo above)

My Ranking: 32- I'm super glad that this team finally ditched their old mascot, but there could have been a little more effort to come up with a new one.

31. Kansas City Chiefs

https://twitter.com/Chiefs/status/1273334435220533248/photo/1

Mascot: Chiefs/K.C. Wolf

My Ranking: 31- Sad to do this to Patrick Mahomes, but the history behind this mascot name makes me very unhappy.

30. San Francisco 49ers

https://twitter.com/49ers/status/1322993090827706368/photo/1

Mascot: 49ers/Sourdough Sam (couldn't find a good picture)

My Ranking: 30- Hopefully the last of the problematic mascots (fingers crossed), but honoring the 1849 gold rush where I've discovered thousands of Indigenous people were killed is not the move.

29. Cleveland Browns

https://twitter.com/BrownsChomps/status/892070864426078208/photo/1

Mascot: Browns/Chomps

My Ranking: 29- This one had me worried, but it's just some dude's last name.

28. Green Bay Packers

https://twitter.com/packers/status/1325155686402166784/photo/1

Mascot: Packers

My Ranking: 28- I hate packing as much as the next person but devoting a whole team to it? Seems strange.

27. Pittsburgh Steelers

https://twitter.com/Teresa_Varley/status/1327327484455620609/photo/1

Mascot: Steelers/Steely McBeam (couldn't find a good picture)

My Ranking: 27- Another weird one, not to mention the name Steely McBeam sounds like a child came up with it.

26. Los Angeles Chargers

https://twitter.com/Chargers/status/1325538930083524610/photo/1

Mascot: Chargers

My Ranking: 26- It's funnier if you imagine a bunch of phone and laptop chargers coming at you.

25. Arizona Cardinals

https://twitter.com/Heather_Janssen/status/1119659185149341696/photo/1

Mascot: Cardinals/Big Red

My Ranking: 25- I just keep repeating the line "And I'm still Big Red" from the cheer in Bring It On.

24. Baltimore Ravens

https://twitter.com/Ravens/status/1326943958732255235/photo/1

Mascot: Ravens/Poe (couldn't find a good picture)
My Ranking: 22- I mean, if it's a fight against Edgar Allan Poe, then they'd win.

23. Houston Texans

https://twitter.com/TexansTORO1/status/1324805986100674562/photo/2

Mascot: Texans/Toro

My Ranking: 23- I dig Toro's gloves, but they also look sort of like his hands are covered in blood. The blood of their opponents perhaps?

22. New England Patriots

https://twitter.com/WFAN660/status/1088830560234020864/photo/1

Mascot: Patriots/Pat Patriot

My Ranking: 22- I'm just waiting for those massive eyebrows to slither off his face.

21. Los Angeles Rams

https://twitter.com/RampageNFL/status/1326933684629303296/photo/1

Mascot: Rams/Rampage

My Ranking: 21- It looks so furry; I want to touch it so bad.

20. Miami Dolphins

https://twitter.com/jcfphotog/status/1221936441829228544/photo/1

Mascot: Dolphins/T.D.

My Ranking: 20- There's no porpoise (see what I did there?) for giving him a helmet so small.

19. Indianapolis Colts

https://twitter.com/ColtsEvents/status/1304770805876895744/photo/1

Mascot: Colts/Blue

My Ranking: 19- Is Blue giving us a mask photoshoot?

18. Denver Broncos

https://twitter.com/sportsphotos/status/673305866091651075/photo/1

Mascot: Broncos/Miles

My Ranking: 18- He's at the top of my list in snow angel form.

17. Buffalo Bills

https://twitter.com/MattBarkley/status/1325856316724830209/photo/1

Mascot: Bills/Billy Buffalo (couldn't find a good picture)

My Ranking: 17- I know technically their mascot is a bill, but come on, they couldn't name themselves the Buffalo buffalos, so I'm going to still count them as buffalo, because that's what they are at heart.

16. Seattle Seahawks

https://twitter.com/BlitzTheSeahawk/status/1307696602664980482/photo/1

Mascot: Seahawks/Blitz

My Ranking: 16- Those wings are epic.

15. Atlanta Falcons

https://twitter.com/FreddieFalcon/status/1307071025876738049/photo/2

Mascot: Falcons/Freddie Falcon

My Ranking: 15- Just like Freddie, I, too, go straight for the cupcakes.

14. Philadelphia Eagles

https://twitter.com/Eagles/status/432967060864237568/photo/1

Mascot: Eagles, Swoop

My Ranking: 14- Not much of a reason for this one, just flies in the middle of the pack (ba dum tss).

13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

https://twitter.com/CaptainFear/status/1243523896986537984/photo/1

Mascot: Buccaneers/Captain Fear

My Ranking: 13- Well, the fear thing wasn't an exaggeration, because WTF is wrong with this guy? Don't let kids within a hundred feet- they'll be scarred for life.

12. Las Vegas Raiders

https://twitter.com/Raiders/status/1326358995217625089/photo/1

Mascot: Raiders/Raider Rusher (couldn't find a good picture)

My Ranking: 12- A raider is basically just another name for pirate just like a buccaneer. The only main difference is this team's mascot won't haunt my dreams (Although if you look it up, it's honestly not much better).

11. Dallas Cowboys

https://twitter.com/JackFMDFW/status/1049721157509771264/photo/1

Mascot: Cowboys/Rowdy

My Ranking: 11- If you're reading this Dak, I love you.

10. Minnesota Vikings

https://twitter.com/ViktorTheViking/status/1313231551803674626/photo/1

Mascot: Vikings/Viktor

My Ranking: 10- Bonus points for being featured in a Lizzo song.

9. New York Jets

https://twitter.com/nyjets/status/1325907959361245184/photo/1

Mascot: Jets

My Ranking: 9- Pick your poison. A fancy, flying airplane or some jazz-squaring youths from West Side Story. Both equally scary options.

8. Jacksonville Jaguars

https://twitter.com/BigCatCountry/status/878236308295909376/photo/1

Mascot: Jaguars/Jaxon De Ville

My Ranking: 8- Whoever wears the mascot suit here does not get paid enough.

7. Carolina Panthers

https://twitter.com/Panthers/status/1325454256489574401/photo/3

Mascot: Panthers/Sir Purr

My Ranking: 7- Just like Sir Purr, I, too, would also like to pose with a Krispy Kreme sign.

6. Cincinnati Bengals

https://twitter.com/Bengals/status/1326285578367881216/photo/1

Mascot: Bengals/Who Dey (couldn't find a good picture)

My Ranking: 6- Calling themselves Bengals instead of plain-old tigers gives some extra spice that I appreciate.

5. Detroit Lions

https://twitter.com/LSJNews/status/1059426627392688128/photo/1

Mascot: Lions/Roary

My Ranking: 5- This mascot's name and long, brown hair is making me really want to make a Gilmore Girls reference.

4. Chicago Bears

https://twitter.com/JaceTEvans/status/1307843153089589253/photo/1

Mascot: Bears/Staley Da Bear

My Ranking: 4- It's sort of like mask inception here.

3. New York Giants

https://twitter.com/Giants/status/1326313709896044544/photo/4

Mascot: Giants

My Ranking: 3- Didn't work out well for Jack circa Jack & the Beanstalk. Or did it? I honestly can't remember how that fairytale ended.

2. New Orleans Saints

https://twitter.com/Saints/status/1321211109047705602/photo/1

Mascot: Saints/Sir Saint/Gumbo

My Ranking: 2- Saints have the Big Guy on their side, and I wouldn't bet against him.

1. Tennessee Titans

https://twitter.com/JoshMooreHL/status/1262840977368154114/photo/1

Mascot: Titans/ T-Rac

My Ranking: 1- The raccoon aside (although you do love to see it), not a lot beats a Titan... Unless you were any other football team in the Omaha Metro, then you regularly beat the Titans at my high school.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

Kristen Sack, ORHS Graduation

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
