5 Super Bowl pretenders after Week 11 of 2021 NFL season

3 other Super Bowl pretenders

#3 - Baltimore Ravens

It's not easy to put the Baltimore Ravens on this list, especially since they keep winning with nearly half their team missing. That is no easy feat. However, due to that fact, they might be Super Bowl pretenders. Injuries can be the deciding factor for teams that would be playoff contenders, but sometimes they can't get past them.

The Ravens make this list due to the unfortunate foreboding that they may be dealing with injuries for the rest of the season, which could take them out of Super Bowl contention.

#2 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Bucs being on this list might also be a head-scratcher considering Tom Brady exists and plays on their team. However, they were rattled by teams that have strong defensive fronts, and that could be how every other team takes down Brady: by getting in his face.

Losing to the WFT and the New Orleans Saints doesn't inspire much confidence in the Bucs right now, but they could prove everyone wrong again.

#1 - Tennesee Titans

The Tennessee Titans keep losing to awful teams. First, it was the New York Jets, and now the Houston Texans. That may not make them Super Bowl contenders, but that is troublesome, to say the least. The Titans should be aiming to remain the #1 team in the AFC, especially when getting a first-round bye in the playoffs as a reward for that.

Derrick Henry may return sooner rather than later, which would help elevate the team, but Tannehill throwing four interceptions in one game cannot happen again.
