NFL’s Sexiest Fans As Voted By Other Fans
Some NFL teams don’t just dominate on the field—they win hearts too. In a recent survey, fans ranked which teams have the most attractive supporters, and the results are in. Two clear favorites stand out from the rest!
Dallas Cowboys fans have been voted as the sexiest in the NFL, with nearly 1 in 6 (15.1%) of rival NFL fans agreeing that the Dallas franchise had the most attractive fans across the league’s 32 teams.
Following closely behind were Miami Dolphins fans, who secured second place in the rankings with 13 percent of the votes.
Other teams followed further behind with Kansas City Chiefs fans taking third place with 6.3 percent of the votes, San Francisco 49ers fans taking fourth place with 5.5 percent and Los Angeles Rams taking fifth place with 5.2 percent.
The top 10 was completed by Los Angeles Chargers (4.8%), Detroit Lions (3.9%), Philadelphia Eagles (3.7%), Atlanta Falcons (2.5%), and Las Vegas Raiders and New England Patriots (2.5%).
At the other end of the spectrum with the least votes were Indianapolis Colts (0.8%), Carolina Panthers (1%), Washington Commanders (1.1%) Seattle Seahawks (1.2%), Jacksonville Jaguars (1.3%), Tennessee Titans (1.3%) and Minnesota Vikings (1.3%).

NFL’s Most Aggressive Fanbases, According to Other Fans
From rowdy stadiums to fierce rivalries, these fanbases have built reputations for bringing unmatched energy (and maybe a little intimidation) to the game. See how your team ranks!
When it comes to the most aggressive NFL fanbases, over one in four (26.6%) fans agree: the Philadelphia Eagles supporters are hands down the rowdiest.
Coming in second place – with nearly half of the votes that Eagles fans earned – were Las Vegas Raiders fans with 13.9 percent.
Third place in the rankings went to Dallas Cowboys fans, with nearly 1 in 10 (9.7%) ranking them as the rowdiest.
Fourth and fifth place went to Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs fans, who secured 6.5 and 6.2 percent of the votes, respectively.
Rounding out the top 10 are the Buffalo Bills (5.2%), New England Patriots (4.7%), Green Bay Packers (4.4%), Baltimore Ravens (2.5%), and San Francisco 49ers (2%).
The most well-behaved fans were the Jacksonville Jaguars, who didn’t receive a single vote. The Jaguars were accompanied by Indianapolis Colts (0.2%), Tennessee Titans (0.3%), Arizona Cardinals (0.3%), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0.4%), Los Angeles Rams (0.4%) and Miami Dolphins (0.4%).
NFL’s Most Hated Teams
Some NFL teams have earned their reputation for dominance, but with that success comes plenty of haters. In this survey, fans were asked to name the teams they despise the most, and the results are telling. From long-standing rivalries to recent successes, these teams have become the target of widespread dislike across the league. Here’s a look at which teams made the list of the most hated, according to NFL fans.
Whether it’s the sexiest fans or something else, the Dallas Cowboys also topped the list as the most hated NFL team, with more than one in six of the respondents (16.9%) giving their vote to “America’s Team”.
Following not too far behind were the Kansas City Chiefs, with 12.4% of the votes, likely fueled by their recent dominance and success.
The New England Patriots, known for their decades of winning under Tom Brady, come in third with 9.08% of the vote.
Fourth and fifth place went to Green Bay Packers, with 7.2 percent of the votes, and Philadelphia Eagles with 6.1 percent.
The top 10 was completed by Las Vegas Raiders (4.5%), Pittsburgh Steelers (4%), Baltimore Ravens (4%), San Francisco 49ers (3.7%), and Chicago Bears (2.9%) and New York Jets (2.9%).
Most Common Superstitions Among NFL Supporters
NFL fans are nothing if not dedicated, and for many, game-day rituals are as important as the action on the field. The survey revealed just how superstitious fans can be when it comes to “helping” their teams, with a variety of quirky habits making the list.
The most common superstition among fans is wearing their team jersey on game day, a tradition practiced by nearly one in three of the respondents (29.9%).
More than one in five (20.9%) of fans take it a step further, ensuring they wear a specific color believed to bring good fortune.
Location also plays a role in fan rituals. Nearly one in ten (9.6%) of respondents admitted to watching games in a specific place, whether it’s their lucky couch, a favorite sports bar, or a friend’s house where their team always seems to win.
A significant group (8.78%) also steers clear of betting on their own team, fearing it might jinx the outcome.
Some fans go all-in on game-day apparel. From wearing another lucky piece of clothing (6.44%) to their lucky underwear (2.69%), wardrobe choices are a key part of their routine. Others embrace more unusual habits, like listening to a lucky song (3.29%) or even eating the same meal as the last time their team won (2.45%).
There’s also a category of superstitions tied to avoiding bad luck. Some fans refuse to watch games with a specific person (4.04%) or avoid going to the bathroom during critical moments (2.15%) — just in case their absence tips the scales. Even stranger, a small number of fans hold onto lucky tokens (2.1%) or leave their team jerseys unwashed for good luck (1.6%).
These rituals, while often unique or humorous, reflect the deep emotional connection fans have with their teams. For them, every little action counts, especially when it feels like the outcome of the game might hinge on their unwavering dedication — or their lucky underwear.
