What Makes a Great NFL Rivalry?
From Packers vs. Bears to Patriots vs. Colts, rivalries define football. What elements like history, competitiveness, or bad blood actually make a rivalry great?

To me, a great NFL rivalry is all about history, intense competition, and genuine bad blood between teams. The long-standing Packers vs. Bears rivalry, for example, carries decades of tradition and iconic moments. Rivalries get even better when both teams are equally competitive, making every game unpredictable. Add in passionate fanbases and players who truly feel the stakes, and you have a rivalry that stands the test of time
