In “15 Things to Watch in 2023,” we discuss the quarterback gauntlet that is the AFC, Aaron Rodgers' bid for Super Bowl glory in New York, the Chiefs' budding dynasty, the 49ers' quarterback conundrum and much more.

Hoisting the Lombardi Trophy is the ultimate goal for all 32 franchises, but several have never enjoyed that moment of elation when the confetti drops and the commissioner brings out the hardware. In our story "Longing for Lombardi," we look at what it will take for those droughts to end.
