18 NFL Fanbases That Are Absolutely Unhinged

Some NFL fanbases are passionate. Others are loyal. And then there are the ones that feel like they belong in their own psychological case study. These are the fanbases that live, breathe, and occasionally scream at the top of their lungs for their team—logic and reason be damned.

Let’s take a look at 18 NFL fanbases that are absolutely unhinged… and proud of it.

18. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Bucs didn’t have fans until Tom Brady arrived, and now they act like they’ve been through decades of pain. Their confidence levels are comically high for a team that once wore creamsicle jerseys and went 0–14.

17. Cleveland Browns

These fans have survived more quarterback changes than any other group, and they’re still here. Honestly, the way they keep coming back makes you question what’s in the Lake Erie water.

16. Jacksonville Jaguars
