The 11 Most Exhausting Fan Bases in the NFL Right Now

There are passionate fanbases, and then there are fanbases that make you want to mute the entire internet. Every team has its loyal followers, but some take the obsession to such an extreme that it’s downright exhausting for the rest of us.

Whether it’s constant conspiracy theories, delusional optimism, or just an unbearable level of online noise, these NFL fanbases somehow manage to drain everyone else’s energy every single season. Here are the 11 fanbases that could use a timeout—preferably with no Wi-Fi.

11. Chicago Bears

Bears fans talk about Justin Fields like he was the second coming, then throw him under the bus the moment he struggles. Now they’ve convinced themselves Caleb Williams is already Canton-bound before he’s even taken a snap.

10. Cleveland Browns

Every offseason is the offseason in Cleveland—until it isn’t. Browns fans ride a rollercoaster of hope, heartbreak, and social media drama like it’s a lifestyle brand.

9. Jacksonville Jaguars

They finally won a few games a couple of years ago, and suddenly the Jaguars’ social media is acting like they’re the new AFC dynasty. It’s impressive how quickly they went from overlooked to overwhelmingly loud. And let’s not even talk about how bad last year was.

8. Minnesota Vikings

Vikings fans will tell you Kirk Cousins was underrated right up until they decided to turn on him completely. Now it’s all about hyping up the next guy as the savior—just like the last five times.

7. Dallas Cowboys

Detroit Lions fans cheer on against Indianapolis Colts during the second half at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind. on Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024.

The Cowboys haven’t sniffed a Super Bowl since the ’90s, but that never stops their fans from proclaiming “this is our year” by Week 1. The delusion is both legendary and endlessly recycled.

6. Miami Dolphins

If you didn’t know better, you’d think the Dolphins won a playoff game last year based on how loud their fans are. One flashy win and they’re planning the parade route in South Beach.

5. San Francisco 49ers

Every 49ers fan is apparently an expert in QB development and defensive schemes. Their obsession with defending every roster move like it’s a personal attack gets old real fast.

4. New York Jets

Jets fans have mastered the art of hyping up a season before it even begins, usually based on vibes and a few practice clips. They treat every setback like a global conspiracy and every offseason move like it guarantees a Lombardi.

3. Kansas City Chiefs

Yes, your team is good, we get it. But, between the constant gloating, Travis Kelce hype, and Taylor Swift crossover mania, it’s just been a lot.
